Revan: hero, traitor, conqueror, villain, savior. A Jedi who left Coruscant to defeat Mandalorians and returned a disciple of the dark side, bent on destroying the Republic. The Jedi Council gave Revan his life back, but the price of redemption was high. His memories have been erased. All that’s left are nightmares and deep, abiding fear.

This book has to be easily in the top 5 books I have read last year. Which says a lot to me personally looking at the fact of how many books and comic books I have read last year. If you want me to make a top 10 list of the worst and best books / comic books I have read last year, let me know in then comments.

The story of this book is very interesting and enjoyable for me personally. From the very beginning to the very end of this book I was completely hooked into the plot of this book. 

At the same time the plot of this book really shows to me at least that Revan is one of the most underrated and unexplored characters in the star wars universe. Which I really want to see much more of.

But I do need to admit here that I had one disappointed when it comes to the plot of this book. Which is that Raven is a complete badass (in my opinion of course) and he didn’t do a lot of fighting in this book which in a way had disappointed me. But not enough to give this book a lower rating than 5 out of 5 stars because I completely loved this book.

The biggest thing I liked about this book is the back story of the Sith Emperor and his back story we get in this book. Which I completely loved and desperately wanted to know more about for a very long time now. And this book have put me out of my misery and given me what I wanted for a very long time now.

At the same time this book has a plot twist at the very end of this book, which in a way made me loved this book so much more. Because I personally never saw it coming which just shows how well this book was written. 

This book was my first star wars book written by Drew Karpyshyn which I have read. And I gotta admit here that Drew Karpyshyn is very close to becoming my favorite star wars author if his other star wars books are just as good as this one. 

The characters in this book are completely amazing. I completely fell in love with all of the characters in this book. Because they were so very well written and they had a lot of personalities to them and personal quirks which made them standout from the rest of the characters in this book. In a way all of the characters in this book felt like real life human beings which I would have no problem becoming best friends with. 

At the same time, this book also offers us a kind of origin story of Scourge who is the Sith Lord of the reconstituted Sith Empire and later as the Emperor’s Wrath in the star wars universe and timeline. I wanted to know more about him as well for a sometime time now. Which made me love this book so much more since this book gives us Scourge’s backstory of how he got to the power. And I gotta admit that this book got me so interested in Scourge that I desperately need to find more star wars books that have Scourge in them because I want to learn more about him.

The writing style in this book is completely amazing. Because it was like the author knew exactly what words to use to completely grab my attention and not let it go until the very end of this book. At the same time the writing style made this whole book so much better because the writing style goes straight to business in this book and delivers the action and drama I wanted to get from this book.

I Give This Book 5 / 5
