A review by dostojevskijs
The Evil Experiment by Jude Watson
2.0
Patience, young padawan. Suspend your judgement, and every being has something to teach you.
I liked how this was different from previous books in the series as it picks up right at the end of previous book (and ends up continuing in the next) as the rest of the series are all connected, sure, but often only in off-hand reflections and references - it's mostly been scattered adventures from Obi Wan's time as Qui Gon's Padawan. So, that was a refreshing take.
But even as the young girl Astri who teams up with Obi-Wan is one of my favourite characters so far... it failed to truly engage me (but as I've continued to point out, the only thing that makes me the target audience is my love for Star Wars; I'm the wrong age, and I've moved beyond this kind of literature, or writing style, quite a while ago) but it was a nice adventure, showing the bond between Padawan and Master.
