An interesting perspective on the Jedi order and how it failed those who do not immediately fit into their mold. Iskat is relatable to anyone who has ever felt othered, and her fall to the dark side makes complete sense.

I wish less time had been spent in the clone wars era, and we had been given more time with her as an inquisitor.

Interesting read, from the POV of ex-Jedi turned Inquisitor. The story was good, but I could tell the author liked to use ellipsis…like, a lot!

Excellent Star Wars fare - Delilah S. Dawson lives her developing reputation "for writing violent women". If it's ever been unclear how easy, how seductive, the fall to the Dark Side could be, meet this square peg who just cannot fit into the Jedi's round hole.
