should i read this book?
Absolutely should. Author Paul S. Kemp rides his jet coaster full of memorable great characters and strong emotional core. Despite being tied to video games.”old republicAnd based on the movie trailers that tease the game, this is a very isolated tale that any casual fan would easily pick up and be drawn into. It doesn’t feel hard, and despite all the action, this is a very universal, character-driven story. .
what did you like?
The attack that kicks off the story acts as a catalyst that blurs what it means to be both a Jedi and a Sith. , the line between strict light and dark is greatly blurred. I also enjoyed how this was a very street-level story, even though it’s set against the backdrop of a warring empire. , I couldn’t help but be drawn into his story. His plight is far less grandiose than others in the book, but the stakes are no small. Gives you a tangible heart and grit that sets you above other books in this series (looking at you) Revan).
What didn’t you like?
As soon as I finished the book, I went straight to Wookiepedia to find a place to meet these characters again, but I was very disappointed that the rest of the story was done exclusively in video games. We understand that video game fans deserve to have their own great stories. After all, I am one of them. Star Wars The book is set 3600 years before the film and includes the looting of a Jedi temple where the readers of the book devour it. Don’t get me wrong, this is the complete story. The journey these characters take has ended in a satisfying way for everyone involved, so don’t let these comments put you off.
what’s next?
next old republic the series is deadly alliance By Sean Williams.this doesn’t matter tricked If you like this book, I also recommend Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter by Michael Reaves. This is unrelated, but it turned out to be a similar story with a similar vibe.
