To no surprise Marc Thompson brings another fantastic performance to a Star Wars novel. To be one hundred percent transparent I struggled to follow along with the book like I usually do. 
So instead of abandoning the story and not finishing it, I decided to just enjoy Marc’s performance through audio. 
I’m so glad I did. This story is a whole new saga in the Star Wars universe. Set in 323 BBY, 200 years before the events of The Phantom Menace. 
So with that being said you have no knowledge of the movies and other media’s characters. But, that’s not to say it doesn’t read as a Star Wars story. In fact in my opinion it reads like a movie. 
Everything from hyperspace battles, valiant deaths and even becoming attached to characters even though you don’t know what’s going to happen to them.
