"But it wasn't real. It was merely his own fear manifesting in his mind. That's what the dark side did to you, after all. Made you doubt. Made you nervous. Made you question everything you believed in, whether you wanted to or not."

I love Cal and BD-1, and this was so unbelievably disappointing. None of the characters felt right, and most of their dialogue with each other felt forced.

This book really feels like a first draft, that should have been edited down. A lot of this was just repeating something that was just told to you. Which feels like this was done for either filler or that the audience isn't trusted enough to remember something that they were just told of. For example on one page were given a description of what Cal looks like when he uses the force, and on the very next page were given another nearly identical description. A lot of the repetition comes from telling how these characters feel about each other instead of showing it. Which can be very annoying.
