Amazing. I love RoTs. Incredible writing. Anakin felt like a powerhouse in this. Palpatine was also a stand out character in this too. Mathew Stover clearly knows how to write a good fckin book, which make you feel like you’re apart of the story. I did not like how long the bit on the invisible hand went on for. Dooku’s death and the capture of palpatine went on for far too long, got me BOOORED. Why didn’t they include order 66 for the other Jedi

This is likely the best piece of Star Wars material ever produced. It brings so much clarity to ROTS and does a heartbreaking job of explaining Anakin’s fall and how the people around him failed him.

I knew when I started this, that this book was going to tear me apart.
I was right.
And it was amazing. The tragedy of Anakin and Obi-Wan and Padmé and the fall of the Republic and Jedi Order was painted so intricately that it brings to mind the deft skill of a Dutch master painter.
I loved how Stover described the Force; it flowed in and out of Jedi and Sith like what I imagine chi to be, and unlike other books in the Star Wars universe it had a mind of its own. It was not simply a tool used by the light and dark, but also a propeller of destiny.
There were other details that Stover added that made this book so much sadder than I ever thought it would be, but to list them would take all day. Instead, I would simply urge you to give this book a good read. It's worth all of the time that you spend flipping through the pages in horror, pain, and hope that this time, it may end differently.

This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker.
Forever…
This is everything a movie novelization should be. While many novelizations merely repackage the film scenes into novel form, Stover instead uses the format to add depth and context to the story and is unafraid to rework dialogue and scenes where necessary. Stover’s prose and narrative structure deviate significantly from other books in the genre and they both work beautifully - I can’t imagine reading this story in a standard “adventure” style. The result is a book that vastly improves on the film’s shortcomings.
All things die…Even stars burn out.
