A little hesitant about anyone writing about giving birth, who hasn't experienced it. Of course that is a bit of an assumption on my part I suppose.

Anyway other than that, I quite enjoyed the book. It was a fun, interesting tale. The blending of ship and person always seems to work out well in Star Wars, at least for me.

And I enjoyed the covert operations at the end as well.

Eine typische Star Wars-Geschichte, die genau das bringt, was man erwartet. Und genau deswegen bin ich ein klein wenig enttäuscht. Es ist eindeutig nicht das beste Buch Karpyshyns, der kann eindeutig mehr. Da ich aber nicht weiss, wie die Vorgaben für diesen Titel lautet, finde ich drei Sterne eine zufriedenstellende Bewertung. Denn eigentlich ist der Titel nicht schlecht.

Es gibt Kämpfe, Humor und Gefühl. Die Sprache ist einfach, aber nicht simpel, und die Handlung hat genug Tempo. Die Figuren sind etwas zu oberflächlich geraten, wobei der Standart der Canon-Werke eigentlich beibehalten wird. Hier kritiesere ich bloss, weil ich weiss, dass es Karpyshyn einfach besser könnte.

Dennoch gute und kurzweilige Star Wars-Unterhaltung. Man muss das Spiel nicht gespielt haben, um das Buch zu lesen, es wir einem alles gut erklärt. Aber trotzdem fühlte es sich teilweise an, als ob mir etwas fehlen würde. Wer also das Game hat, kann sich gut erst dort durcharbeiten. Alle anderen Interessierten sollten sich aber nicht abschrecken lassen.

The best of the Old Republic series this book combines everything great about the world of the Old Republic. It had powerful Jedi, Sith Lords, espionage, intrigue, spies, battles, explosions, etc. A very quick and fun read this one was great.

I liked this story and thought that Karpyshyn did a great job telling the story. He didn't try to make everything into a nice perfect family or happy ending. And the storyline was entertaining.
