I had a lot of issues with this book. All the military Jargon at the beginning of the book was a bit off putting. The book is also abelist Depicting someone's disability in a negative light. Though I do like the poverty aspect surrounding this. Also the combat is really boring in this book. It is intricately described, but there's no emotion to it. no impact.

I just finished it and don't think I can tell you a single thing I listened to.

I was recommended this book by a friend who thought I would like the dark forbidden romance angle of this book. Which I did... up until poor Eleena got killed at the very end. I felt nothing but immense frustration that she was saved only to be killed a moment later.
Other issues with the book stem from typical EU problems--everything feels like a video game and every Force user is next to invincible.

I love the world of The Old Republic. It is basically what I wish the prequels could have been. That being said these books are more of a guilty pleasure to me then actual, thought-provoking reading and I rate them accordingly. Fun read, fun characters, good story.

This book had some interesting twists and turns. It did make me cry a couple of times when Z-man was talking about how much it cost to get a hoverchair for his daughter! I thought Malgus was a pretty good copy of Darth Vader... but Aryn was written really well. And I'm glad she didn't turn to the dark side.

The ability to create a character both filled with hate and anger as well as love and compassion that makes sense is difficult. This author did that twice. I really enjoyed this exploration of the Dark side. These pre-episode 1 books I wish were separatists and not the Empire but other than that, it's great.
