Three stars - I'm giving this book the benefit of the doubt and saying that I found the second half so boring because I listened to it during a long, hot, boring car trip.
There were some good things, but I can safely say I am extremely glad this was not my first Star Wars book. I don't think I would have finished it, and I certainly never would have picked up another.
First in my Star Wars Legends-A-Thon and it's an okay book. Fun enough but the constant back and forth with the flashbacks got annoying after a while and the mystery was not explained and probably won't be explained since Disney got its hands on the franchise soon after this was published so this is no longer canon. What a shame.
I'm a huge Star Wars fan and was excited to read my first book of this Universe (I have seen the movies, played some games and watched the animated works. The dual narration used by the author was good and sometimes not so easy to identify within the first few phrases of the change. I enjoyed getting to know more about the early Ages of the Jedi Order. There were some repeated narrative elements throughout the story and made the story kind of predictive at some points.
An open ending and waiting for the next book in this serie)) 4/5
