Claudia Gray is absolutely my favorite author writing Star Wars right now (not to say there aren't other amazing authors, I just enjoy her work that much).
I went into this book with high expectation, both because of her past work, and because growing up I adored the (now Legends) 'Jedi Apprentice' series that was all about Qui-Gon and young Obi-Wan. It was everything I wanted it to be, not only with the focus on Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, but the sub-plots and other characters were also compelling and made for a neat mystery to think about too.

This was the first Star Wars book I ever read since I just recently gained an interest in the Star Wars fandom.
The beginning was a bit of a slow build for me, but it picked up and ended up being a really good book in my opinion. I definitely enjoyed the 'After' section, and would recommend this book to anyone interested in Star Wars. Old fans or new.

Possibly one of my favourite star wars reads so far.
The films portrayed obi wan and qui gon at odds with eachother on key concepts and beliefs, this prequel really shows the origin and how they learnt to be effective together with their differences.
Voice actor was phenomenal and really did make it sound like Liam neeson and Ewan McGregor!!

This book takes place before the events of The Phantom Menace. Qui-Gon and Obi-Won have a unique teacher and student relationship which was different than I expected. Flashbacks into Qui-Gon’s own training show why prophecy is so important to him.

A lo mejor peco de darle muchas estrellas, pero es que realmente me ha gustado muchísimo la historia y los personajes. Me han encantado los giros, aunque hay una cosa que me hubiera gustado saber y que dejo ahí. Es una trama secundaria, pero era de un personaje que me había llamado la atención.
Dejando de lado eso, ojalá ciertos profesionales se fijasen más en novelas como esta. Que trato a los personajes, que de cosas interesantes conocemos que en las películas no se pudo entrever...
Me ha gustado mucho. Voy a esperar una novela de la juventud de Qui-Gon eternamente. Por favor y gracias.
A ver si puedo desgranar todo en el blog, con avisos correspondientes de spoiler, por que me ha gustado mucho.

3.5 stars, really. There are things I really liked about this novel but overall I didnt connect with it like I hoped I would - like I have with Claudia Gray's other Star Wars novels.
(More review to come.)
