Good context for episode three but the author can be rather wordy and confusing at times

This is a direct prequel to Revenge of the Sith and it has some good moments but overall it feels superfluous.

Um, infinite sadness is right! Every moment of this book is so over the top and DARING me to laugh in the middle of a scene of terrifying foreshadowing of Anakin's imminent (two week away) fall. What else can be said, except that James Luceno doesn't linger enough in moments that I want him to spend some time in (lots of insane dialogue that I love out of the two most ridiculous Jedi who ever lived, lots of baring their feelings and being open-ish with each other, and lots of Obi-Wan just kind of ignoring that Anakin is now just one GIANT redflag, amazing).
Frankly, the fact that Anakin nearly crushes Dooku to death with his Rage and then not 48 hours later shows up on Greivous' flagship and says: My power has doubled since the last time we met (still, obviously referencing the duel in aotc, and Luceno did a nice job not having them meet face to face to not directly contradict this but STILL) is so ridiculous.

I enjoyed the take on this time period. Now, these books are no longer canon, so characters newer fans may enjoy are absent. I tried to look at this now as more of an alternate telling of these events. Still an enjoyable series of three books so far.
