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.

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.
