I am having trouble locating the TPBs of all the Republic series comics, so I thought it would be more efficient to just add the omnibuses, although I haven't technically read them...
At any rate, Quinlan Vos is one of my all-time favorite Star Wars character, and Jan Duursema does an amazing job of bringing him to life (since she uh, created him). He's kind of another Anakin/Vader character, but less whiny and way cooler. Yes, cooler. He has tattoos!

The reason this got four stars instead of five was mostly for the fact that structure of the book itself was disjointed. We go from issues 19-26 then jump to 32-45 and the reader can tell that there were some things missing. Issues 23-26 continue on from a story that was published way before this one came out and you needed to know what had happened in the earlier ones for it to make sense. I would have even liked to see Quinlan go through his retraining at the temple after losing his memory instead of skipping 3 months ahead from the end of #22 to #23.
But that's not to say that the actual stories itself weren't great. Getting to exclusively read about Quinlan Vos instead of getting a little bit of backstory of him in The Clone Wars show was the whole reason I wanted to read this. I wish I got a little more about who Quinlan was before he lost his memories and his relationship with Aayla but getting to see them patch up their relationship after the whole story arc with her uncle's death was great. Another great aspect was the fact we get a backstory to Quinlan, not only did we visit his home planet but we also got to meet his relatives and understand more of his power to get a memory from touching objects. Did I mention the fact that through this entire book Quinlan was fighting between the Darkside and Lightside? That was incredible to see the push and pull of Dark vs Light and how Quinlan had to find a balance, which at its core is the whole point of Darkside vs Lightside. It is finally discussed more inside a Star Wars book that does not include Anakin's constant struggle and it was great to see the honesty of another Jedi struggling with it.

i like learning more about the lore and i enjoy quintan vos as a character, i don’t love the art style changes in here but i know that’s not really controllable
i like the characters and concepts more than i actually like these graphic novels

Bof. Beaux dessins, mais histoires simplistes et répétitives.
L'idée qu'on se fait souvent d'un "comic book" quoi.
