Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith by Matthew Woodring Stover
4.0
Good. Very good. This novelization of Revenge of the Sith brings so much to the movie and the Star Wars universe. I would consider it a mandatory read for everyone, especially Star Wars fans, even those who dislike the prequels.
The author uses interesting writing techniques. It's mostly written in 3rd person past tense, but occasionally, it switches to 1st person when it focuses fully on how a character feels in a particular moment. There are random POV switches without any line breaks or something to indicate it, which is a bit distracting. For the most part, it is well written with a fitting melancholy tone, but there are occasions of purple prose and weirdly placed humor..
Characters are fully realized here, and their motives make sense. The bond between Anakin and Obi Wan is explored more, and It's really heartbreaking when they have to fight each other. Anakin's conflict is more su the at the start, and it evolves more organically, culminating in the moment he wakes up I. The suit, all of his actions finally crashing down on him. The novel feels even more like a tragedy than the movie in that regard.
I read this in three days and will probably read it again in the future. This is the Star Wars novel for me currently and the standard, I will compare all Star Wars novels from now on.
