Redemption by Kevin J. Anderson
5.0
Disconnected from the Force Ulic wanders seeking the place where he can finally live the rest of his life in peace. And while he reflects on his life and slow demise his past catches up with him and unexpectedly he will be given opportunity to redeem himself.
As a complete opposite to Ulic (who at this point is person aware of dangers of emotions and pride) we have Sylvar, mighty Jedi warrior who lost her mate in Sith Wars. She is unable to find peace and lives bitter life constantly seeking revenge against Ulic. Even when confronted by Tott Doneeta she is not capable to cope with the hate and allows it to take full control over her actions. When she finally confronts Ulic he manages by being blunt to the extreme to disarm her anger and make her see that living in never-ending rage is no living at all.
Excellent story of redemption and coming to peace with oneself by helping others to find peace in themselves.
Art is good, lots of very clear panels and more modern than it was case with previous book. Artist manages to express all the emotions on the faces of the characters and helped me to get fully immersed into the story.
With this novel Tales of the Jedi arc comes to an end. Dark Horse truly did wonders with this setting. In my opinion although follow up books were good (Legacy, pre-Clone Wars stories etc) Tales of the Jedi still remain most epic Star Wars story for me.
Highly recommended to Star Wars fans and in general fans of the SF/Fantasy.
