I don’t really know what to make of this particular Star Wars story.
There’s a lot in here I like and appreciate. I like seeing where the Sith are at compared to where they were with the Dawn of the Jedi stories. I like seeing what the Jedi are up to and their connection to the Republic.
What I find somewhat disjointed and disappointing is the approach to empires. This book very clearly says the Sith empire is bad. These are bad people. But then sort of props up Empress Teta as a good character to root for. Like are we saying empires are bad or not?
All in all this is a fun read for Star Wars fans. It’s not boring but nothing mind blowing either. Very middle of the road type of story.
