Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter by Michael Reaves
adventurous
3.5
3.5/5 for story, 5/5 for the audiobook narration by the amazing Sam Witwer, who also voiced Maul (and other characters) on TCW and Rebels. Witwer breathes life into every character, from the beloved to the new. There are nostalgic cameos, especially since this story precedes Phantom Menace. ;)
Story-wise the beginning was slow for me, and a lot of detail was given to action sequences, which isn’t my usual cup of tea. But the pace and plot ramp up, particularly so in the last quarter or more of the book. The ending is surprising and pitch perfect. Recommend for any fan of the Sith and the prequels. Highly recommend for fans of Witwer, a masterclass in voice-over acting.
