A review by dreamreader
Shatterpoint by Matthew Woodring Stover

Did not finish book. Stopped at 39%.

I wanted to love this so much. And to be fair, I love the writing and Mace's characterization, and I do in fact think that the moral themes surrounding war are both deeply important and integral to Star Wars. But this book is just so dark. Unbelievably dark. Oppressively dark. There is no joy or happiness here. It's depressing to read, and as I was already in a reading slump coming into this, I just can't do it right now. I do think I would like to finish this at some point, so it's only a soft dnf. I can just feel it putting me into even more of a slump than I was already in. Each time I picked it up to read I just kept thinking "I don't want to read this." So I need to listen to my inner voice on this one.
