Beautifully written.
The entire book feels like the author is flexing his writing skills.

I think I’ve gotten out of my Star Wars phase cuz this was very hard to get myself to finish. It’s still so sad watching Anakin fall to the dark side.
I have to say, the narrator does not do a good Padme impression but that’s okay, it’s just comical.

This was better than the movie, adds so much depth. Love the way it's written.
I only didn't give it a perfect 5 because in regards to Padmé, there's one paragraph that didn't sit right with me. 😭
But it does work with my theory that Anakin kind of biwitched her through the force, unintentionaly.

"Tout meurt, Anakin Skywalker. Même les étoiles se consument"
Je ne m'attendais pas à recevoir une telle gifle. J'ai vu le livre et je me suis dit "ça ne peut pas être pire niveau souffrance que le film de toute façon" ben tient quelle grossière erreur de ma part.
Matthew tu m'as détruite, je ne suis plus qu'un bonhomme de neige en plein soleil.
Ani est un personnage que j'aime énormément, sa souffrance le rend si touchant si humain et puis je confesse: on a tendance à aimer beaucoup trop les perso bien torturés par ici... Quoiqu'il en soit sa chute est d'autant plus terrible retranscrite en mots. Certains passages sont magnifiques je ne m'en remettrai pas sur le champ.
Cet ouvrage est d'une beauté tragique et je n'exagère qu'à peine.
Je n'ai plus de cœur mais en tant que fan de Star Wars je suis habituée. Allez bisouss
"Dans votre tête, il n'y a que du feu. Autour de votre cœur, le dragon chuchote que tout meurt. Voilà ce que ça fait en ce moment précis, d'être Anakin Skywalker"

I would love to rate this higher, as it is it's just scraping under 4 stars for me. Matthew Stover has so many incredibly good lines in here, and a truly rock solid understanding of what makes the dynamic between Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Palpatine interesting as well as Anakin's inner world, unfortunately he needs to be jailed for his crimes against Padme. The way he wrote her and her relationship with Anakin felt deeply uncomfortable in a rather misogynistic way - she is constantly afraid of his macho physical power, even at the very start of the novel, and has seemingly no life besides being The Wife Of Anakin Skywalker. I think a fair summary is that he goes out of his way to have C3-P0 (a man (derogatory)) influence her decision to go after Anakin...
Honorary 4.5 stars for having Palpatine describe Yoda as a "little green freak"

My first legends novel! While I had some problems with Padme getting dumbed down to pretty much wifey, there were some things I enjoyed about this novelization. I really liked having Anakin and Obi-Wan's inner monologue. It definitely added more depth to the story. I do wonder though, if Anakin had just taken a nap and not been awake for like 3 days straight, maybe none of this would have happened. 😅
