This story was so much better in novelization form. There was so much more information that explains what is going on with Anakin and his turn to the Dark Side as well as the failures of the Jedi to notice the Sith running the Senate.
There were so many great scenes, especially during the climax of the story. It was great to read and to see the change in Anakin through the story and how he was turned to the Dark Side and how it affected the rest of the Jedi, especially Obi-Wan.
I really enjoyed this story and can't wait to read more.

Matthew Stover turns a good movie into a fantastic read, fleshing out Anakin's relationship and character more, as well as showcasing beloved characters at their best. 5/5 would highly recommend.

The beginning was a bit slow (easier to watch than read). Considering it’s a novelization, it was closely similar to the movie but some things were a bit different. I enjoyed watching Anakin to the dark side, but I feel like it was captured better on film. There is more context on his path with his turn, so that was much appreciated.
