It is always such a joy to return to the Old Republic, to see familiar and new characters fight against the greatest evil they will ever face. I especially enjoyed reading more about how the Sith learn about and use the Force, and Scourge is one of the best fleshed-out characters I've ever seen. His struggle between the Dark and his respect for Revan is masterfully done, and Revan is (of course) one of the coolest Jedi to have graced the Star Wars universe. The only thing that I lament is the absence of Mission, Big Z, and Carth, I would have loved to have seen what they were up to after saving the Republic from Malak.

See, it is stories like this that make me remember why I love star wars so much! The twists, the thrill, the mystery and the fight scenes! You will never see what happens throughout the story coming and I loved Revan because of that! It would be so exciting to see the old republic made into movies someday!!

If you've never read anything from the Star Wars universe, this is a great place to start. I can only hope they make movies based on these and Darth Bane one day.

I love KOTOR, so this book was bittersweet. Not well written, but it carries on a good story.

Definitely a fun read, especially if you enjoy the Star Wars universe in general. I wish I played the KOTOR games before reading this novel, but I’m sure I’ll enjoy them in a different way knowing how this novel concludes.
