A review by chaeopteryx
Death Star by Steve Perry, Michael Reaves
3.0
So, I would like to preface this by saying I did not read the description and simply got this book thinking it would be about the construction and eventual destruction of the Death Star and how it operated. Now that was entirely my fault, but nonetheless, my preset expectations may have skewed my opinions, which means this review might not be entirely accurate or foolproof. Still, I will continue.
My main complaint is it’s really fucking boring at first. Like, why should I give a damn about anyone mentioned here??? Not only that, their stories were not very interesting or grasped my attention. I was more just reading it, not really feeling or becoming very immersed with the story.
I will say I like the in it gives on Vader’s psyche and how he thinks. It really doesn’t get interesting till the end, when we reach ANH territory.
There isn’t really anything good or bad I can say more than that. It’s just… incredibly mediocre, in my personal opinion. So is it worth a read? I would say no, but I will say the end is interesting and may catch your interest.
3/5, not very happy but not too upset either.
