Dark Disciple ended up creating a very natural bridge to the tragedy that occurs in RotS, through the perspectives of characters with very peculiar outlooks. It allowed us to see how two such different, unorthodox characters managed to explore the impact of the power of love, the danger of the dark side and the importance of redemption. Above all, it showed what makes Quilan Vos and Asajj Ventress two special and unique characters in the Star Wars galaxy.

I was also particularly impressed by how unpredictable this narrative managed to be. As well as how fantastic the audiobook is, allowing to add even more emotion to a story that is already quite emotional.

Thank you, Katie Lucas, Christie Golden and Marc Thompson for this incredible ride. A must for any Clone Wars fan!
