This is by far the best of the old republic books that I've read so far. The plotline is super interesting and the characters are quite well done. Also there are a lot of important women characters in the book. Which is fantastic. It's something that is very lacking in the Star Wars galaxy and it breathes some fresh life into the series.

Some cool stuff here and there but overall this is the least interesting Old Republic novel I’ve ever read.

Ein Sammelband mit zwei Geschichten aus dem Legends-Universum. Bei Geschichten sind sich natürlich in ihren Grundzügen ähnlich, offenbaren aber während des Lesen stellt sich mehr und mehr heraus, dass die Titel auf unterschiedliche Themen und Aussagen herauslaufen. Vor allem das zweite Buch "Betrogen" fand ich sehr eindrücklich.

Good enough sci fi pulp to get into the game.

When, on the first page (if not the first sentence), a character was introduced named Jet Nebula, my expectations on the quality of this book fell to floor. But I was surprised. The plot was a little predictable, but there was good action, some nice plot twists, and good characters. I haven't read too much Star Wars fiction, so I don't really have a huge appreciation for it, but this one was good.

One of the better Star Wars stories that I have read. The characters were engaging and the story a whole was very sleek and fun. The finale was a bit odd but I have to expect that from the Old Republic stories so not really a big deal this time.

I liked this book. It had a lot of interesting characters, and I thought it did a good job of showcasing the differences between the Jedi and the sith. It wasn't a stunner though. It didn't leave me with big emotions or really rooting for one team over the other.
