It's not a good book - The author's prose is great, but there's maybe one likable character in the whole book and the plot is a meandering mess that mostly justifies gory, sloppy fight scenes scattered around the sith academy it takes place in. 

That being said it is a fun kind of bad and I still enjoyed reading it.

I don't mean to imply that the book was poorly written, that's not the case. But I don't enjoy zombies or gore, and I certainly don't pick up a Star Wars novel for those things. If I had known that's what this was, I wouldn't have bothered. If you do like those things, you might find this story to be very enjoyable.

This was enjoyable in kind of a silly star wars way. I'm not a big reader of horror normally, but I felt this ticked the right boxes. It is gruesome and tense and you never really know who will live or die. 
The cast of characters did get a little confusing at times, but it needed to be a large cast for a reason. I'm looking forward to seeing how this ties into death troopers when I get there.
