Dark Disciple

Just finished and I'm still wiping tears from my face, wow that was a ride. Vos + Ventress had such a fun dynamic and I loved watching them grow. Pacing and dialogue are TOP notch. What a beautiful story for these two characters. I'm happy I got to be a part of this love story for Asajj and Quinlan ❤️ a true star wars adventure that you should not miss.

I read that this was based on some unfinished scripts from the Clone Wars TV series and it fits right in the time frame and with the characters of the series. But, based on the story of the novel, it seems like a whole season of show, there is so much to the book. The only thing is that some of the events might have been a little mature for a cartoon.

The audiobook performance that I listened to from Audible was fantastic, the different voices brought me back to the Clone Wars characters. I also appreciated the use of the Duel of the Fates music behind the battle scenes, it seemed even more justified than in Episode I.

I enjoyed the story, some was intense, some things I didn't expect, but if you liked the Clone Wars like I did, I think it is a safe bet that you'd like this book as much as I did. Plus, it featured Asajj Ventress, one of my favorite characters from the Clone Wars and one of the best villains in all of Star Wars.

(spoiler) One thing I expected during the later part of the book was that it would lead right into the first scene of Revenge of the Sith, alas it did not, it ended more like a Clone Wars arc, with nothing really changed at the galactic level.
