Revan by Drew Karpyshyn

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.

you cannot convince me that revan is not one of the coolest characters within the star wars EU. i am devastated with how his story ended in this book but that doesn’t stop me loving the book! loved the atmosphere of the old republic, will be returning for more SWTOR books :)

A easy to read Star Wars book. Fun combat and a easygoing story. Ending didn't leave me breathless or super satisfied. Maybe this is more for people with a really good knowledge of the characters involved and a good understanding of what happens after the book. As someone with only a passing knowledge of Revan I found the characters cool, but don't think I fully appreciated their place in the wider star wars universe. Fun read, but forgettable.
