I love Star Wars and I have enjoyed all aspects of stories told within this universe. So I thought by diving into this Legends book I’d be treated to a fun story that provided some clues or insight into how the Jedi started on the path to becoming what we are so familiar with in the prequels or the original trilogy.
This book was not that and I honestly don’t even know what the point of this was. This book is no longer considered canon and it wouldn’t even matter if it was. There’s no deeper lore or implications here to impact our knowledge or understanding of this fictional universe.
The story is just about a Je’daii ranger tracking down her presumed dead brother who is trying to use ancient technology to do something the council perceives as bad. That the whole story. There are interesting flashbacks to the siblings childhood that shows them drifting further apart the stepper they get into their training but it has no consequences for the other part of the story with them nine years older.
The book doesn’t even have a satisfying ending. It does kind of wrap up the main story thread but completely refuses to address any of the surrounding story threads or give any information that makes the journey of reading this book worth your time.
If you absolutely love Star Wars and want to read everything sure go ahead and read it but if you’re just a casual fan looking for a good sci-fi story this isn’t it.
