“Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade” By Delilah S. Dawson Review

Padawan Iskat Akaris has dedicated her life to traveling the galaxy alongside her master, learning the ways of the Force to become a good Jedi. Despite Iskat’s dedication, peace and control have remained elusive, and with each setback, she feels her fellow Jedi grow more distrustful of her. Already uncertain about her future in the Jedi Order, Iskat faces tragedy when her master is killed and the Clone Wars engulf the galaxy in chaos.

I need to admit here that this book has to be easily one of the best star wars books I have read this year so far at least. 

The main character in this book is very likable and interesting. She takes quiet a big journey throughout this book because she start as a padawan, then she is made to a Jedi knight and ends up being a inquisitor. At the same time she gots a lot of personality to her and she is very clearly a good character which is very under explored, and her whole journey throughout this book is pretty tragic which in my opinion makes her so much more likable and relatable. 

When it comes to the rest of the characters in this book, they are just as good as the main character is. In my opinion each of the characters we get in this book has something that makes them stand out from the rest of the characters and at the same time each character in this book has a lot of personality to them which really makes them very likable no matter if they are Jedi, Sith, Inquisitor or anything else in between.

The plot in this book is very good. Because it is very interesting and very enjoyable. There is a lot of action in this book but also it sets the whole Jedi Council in a bad spot in my opinion because of how the Jedis treat the main character in this book. Which in my opinion brings more depth into the star wars universe, because the plot in this book shows that maybe the Jedis and the Jedi Council isn’t all good as it really hard tries to paint itself to be. At the same time this book gives us a very good origin story to the villain the main character in this book becomes. 

At the same time this book takes place around the time of the Order 66, which makes this book an good addition to the star wars universe around the time of Order 66. Because this book expands the universe so that we can get understanding and enjoyment around the time period of star wars where the Order 66 takes place.

The writing style in this book is very good, because the author uses very star wars appropriate writing style which fits the star wars theme of this book but also makes it unique enough to fit the plot in this book.

I Give This Book 5 / 5
