Not me crying in the middle of the night after I finished this book.

This book is for the Star Wars girlies that saw Anakin and Padme and thought “eh not toxic enough” and I love it ✨

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.
