This was a very entertaining read that doesn't shy away from dark and emotional themes. The main character is well layered and I liked how the author showed the grey areas between the light and dark side.
The inquisitor time period of the book was definitely the highlight and I would have liked to read more of this.
I have read one previous to this one by Delilah and I found the writing clunky and disjointed. This book feels different and seems to have a more natural pace and feeling.
Iskat is a great character that I am enjoying seeing her grow in the force and her understanding or her role. I also see her growing frustration and you can see the slow descent from Jedi to a dark side user.
You can see the loss of her Master Sember is pushing her to something more. It really impacted her despite not believing the bond was there. I think it shows there the Jedi in and of themselves while are good they also have bad as well.
Fear from the people who you are supposed to be a team with has to wear thin quickly and will definitely push you closer to the darkside. I think she is powerful but she isn't trusted or respected and that's what will and is causing her issues.
Completing her missions are her top priority and in war I can't say that I blame her. It's not her fault the Jedi doesn't want to use her correctly and that she must act as she sees fit in accordance with her training as a Jedi. The fact that the masters don't believe it and talk to her as I'd she was a child annoyed me.
Tualon drives me nuts as he seems so judgemental and doesn't have friendship in his heart for Iskat. He could easily save her if he allowed her in.
I hate Mace like normal as he is arrogant and always shows his distrust of people. No wonder that Jedi fall when he won't put his trust in those he should. Basically he causes the falls because of his attitude and that makes me hate him more. He is not a Jedi to be emulated in fact he should have been expelled for what he was doing.
The order 66 part and the aftermath is what I really found interesting as well as the search information about her mother.
As a Dark Side fan, Inquisitor: Rise of The Red Blade is everything I could have hoped for. No character redemption. Just pure dark side and heartbreak because if there's one thing to know about Star Wars, it's that it's always tragic
