I was unsure of this book at first. The whole that's good that's bad routine really threw me off for a bit. But overall I think the book was quite well done. It was fun and adventurous, the military stuff didn't get too bogged down. They had some weird characters and strange descriptive aside moments, but I had a really good time with it.
The romance in this book is ridiculous though, as most are. But this ones really fast and weird.

I appreciated the heavy focus on the logistics aspect of the battle since that's a fairly unique perspective, especially for Star Wars content. The writing style, however, was quite awkward and difficult to parse at times. All the characters were kind of cliched (a Rodian named Grudo, seriously?) but they weren't *too* bad. Overall kind of mediocre and really only noteworthy because it details how Anakin achieved Knighthood.

Excellent clone wars novel. It seems that Lucas books had the idea that it might be neat to get real combat vets to write a gritty realistic war novel set during the imfamous Clone Wars. Mission Accomplished. I enjoyed this one, but I am a sucker for military sci-fi and Jedis. Yep, Nerd.

The ending was what got this three stars. There was a lot of military detail leading up to the actual fight scenes, but when it got there it fell flat and felt rushed. There was an appearance of a character that was an unexpected surprise and Anakin finally getting Knighted was what really made it worth reading.

It sucked so bad. My goodness, it was terrible. “I’m a hotshot pilot!” Please.

It's all a bit "meh." One dimensional; I've read a lot better Star Wars fiction.
There's no characterisation. The dialogue could be spouted by any Star Wars character; nothing specific to their own.
The complexity of the story reads like a children's book. Couldn't wait for it to be over.

It wasn't the worst Star Wars book ever, but man this was incredibly forgettable. I could barely stay interested in the plot. I liked Neiaa Halcyon and how he and Anakin both shared a secret marriage, and obviously because his son Valin because an incredibly important character later on in the Post-ROTJ EU.
But man, I just didn't care about literally anything that happened. Which is saying a lot as I usually enjoy military focused stories. Oh well. On to the next one.
