Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter
by Michael Reaves
This book includes a short story called “Restraint” by James Luceno. That story is exactly what I wanted. I enjoyed it and would recommend it. The novel itself, however, didn’t do much for me.
If the title includes the name “Darth Maul” I feel like the story should really focus on him. Maul should be the hero, and we should spend most of our time with him. That’s not the case here. I found most of the characters in the novel fairly bland. I didn’t really care about them. There was maybe 100 pages worth of actual story but it was padded out with 300 pages of boring and repetitive action scenes. I didn’t like how Maul was very reactive. I would have preferred a story that put him in control.
