lots of worldbuilding i am not very familiar with which makes it quite confusing at times but overall wonderful read! been wanting to read it for ages, and choosing to do this through an audiobook was the right choice i think :)

honestly not my cup of tea… if i’m already going to halt through french i don’t want to have to struggle with enjoying the book itself too! probably nice for some but i found it boring so i don’t think i’ll finish it, though maybe i’ll pick it up again one day

Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.

horribly written, horrible characterisation, could not even get through lore than the first thirty pages! will be donating it to the flea market in september… because we get it anakin !!! you have a wife !!! you don’t need to say how much you value and love. your wife. because she’s your wife. every single paragraph !!!! do not recommend to anyone, would give zero stars if i could but i didn’t finish the boon so i don’t get to rate it which fair enough it doesn’t deserve a rating anyways

very nice !!! this was my first foray into the star wars novels and i have been pleasantly surprised! i feel like grat captured the relationship of obi-wan and qui-gon very nicely and i also loved the side characters and glimpses into plotlines that tie the book to the movie canon. definitely recommend reading!
