The Republic is decaying, even under the leadership of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, who was elected to save the galaxy from collapsing under the forces of discontent. On the tiny but strategic planet of Ansion, a powerful faction is on the verge of joining the growing secessionist movement. At the Chancellor’s request, the Jedi Council sends two Jedi Knights, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luminara Unduli, along with their Padawans Anakin Skywalker and Barriss Offee, to stabilize the planet’s population. To succeed, the Jedi will have to fulfill near-impossible tasks, befriend wary strangers, and influence two great armies, stalked all the while by an enemy sworn to see the negotiations collapse and the mission fail.

Once again we are talking about another Star Wars book, I gotta say I had some high hope for this book. But to be very honest here this book didn’t live up to most of my expectations I had for this book. 

In this book we Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luminara Unduli, Anakin Skywalker and Barriss Offee are send on a mission and we follow the 4 of them in this book. 

I gotta admit that Obi-wan and Anakin don’t feel as developed and well made characters in this book as in the movies. Which really disappointed me a lot in this book. Because as some of you might know, Obi-wan and Anakin are one of my all time favorite characters from the Star Wars universe.

And the new characters we get in this book as Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee don’t leave a lasting impression as the OG character from Star Wars universe. 

Both Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee feel like mediocre characters, with not a lot of personality and depth into them which made it difficult for me to invest in their story.

The writing style in this book lacks the aspect of what makes Star Wars, Star Wars. The writing style is average to be honest. My main problem with the writing style is that it doesn’t have the depth and uniqueness which other Star Wars books have.

The descriptions in this book sometimes feel very generic and drags at times because they feel like they would fit better a fantasy book rather than a star wars book. 

The plot in this book while interesting and enjoyable lacks the immersive quality and the star wars vibe which the majority of star wars books have.  

I Give This Book 2 / 5
