A review by jklugman
Shatterpoint by Matthew Woodring Stover

3.0

The first half, directly tapping into Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, is very strong. The second half really ups the narrative complexity and frankly becomes too much Star Wars. 75% of the way in I felt like the novel really should be wrapping things up but it had too much story to tell that frankly was not that interesting. I am surprised this is considered one of the better Star Wars novels! That could be true, but it does not say much.
