Labyrinth of Evil by James Luceno

5.0

This book is so good it makes me want to bang my head against a wall repeatedly until I die. Labyrinth of Evil shows almost better than any other SW material just how much of a horrible tragicomedy the prequels were. The Jedi came this close to averting the Republic's fall, this close to discovering the true identity of Sidious before it was too late, this close to actually taking a hard honest look at themselves and discovering they'd made a terrible mistake. You get to watch up close and personal as every character you love tries so hard and gets so far and in the end it doesn't even matter. It's excruciating.
