Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Vol. 9: Demon by John Jackson Miller
4.0
Review for the series:
Kind of sad to have finally reached the end of this series. It's been a lot of fun. While it hasn't always been the most refined (for awhile the art is a who's who of mediocreness--thankfully Ching returns for the concluding arcs of the series)(also, the Vector crossover did more damage to the series than anything else, but I spose it can be forgiven, or better yet, ignored), it has been a consistent ride in a great story.
They managed to craft stories and characters that exist in a setting I'm familiar with without relying on the big name characters associated with the KotOR brand (such as Revan and Malak). It was a well struck balance with full credit given to Miller.
As for the story arcs--after finishing Zayne's arc a bit past halfway through the series, I considered stopping. I'm glad I stuck it out as Jarael's arc was just as if not moreso compelling. Volume 9 here seemed to wrap up relatively fast considering the pacing of the rest of the series, but I have to say I left content.
I'm tempted now to pick up the new KotOR War series, but am so satisfied with the #50 conclusion for KotOR that I might just let it rest.
