This is the second time I have read this book and it's just as good the second time round!

My only small criticism, and the reason this book didn't get 5 stars, is in some places you can tell this has been adapted from incomplete scripts/animation as the chapters can be very short and sometimes the scene changes are a little all over the place.

Overall this is a really really good book and I absolutely recommend this to anyone who likes Ventress, wants to learn more about Quinlan Vos as a character or just likes the Clone Wars show.

I love The Clone Wars, but I'm not usually a fan of franchise novelisations. That said, I really, really enjoyed this, more than I was expecting to. It was a fascinating look at the grey area between the Light and Dark side of the Force, with a lot more insight into the hubris of the Jedi and the desperation to end the Clone Wars by any means necessary. The love story felt a little out of character for Ventress and personally I think a slow burn type of story would have suited her better, but at the same time, I didn't hate it. I just wish that Ventress had a little more agency in the last third of the book instead of following Vos around.

The ending killed me, though. In a good way. But I'm still dead.
