depressing pointless slog
Revisado: 07-11-24
grim and frustrating, this story was a dragged out painful crawl. if you like Star wars for action, adventure, hope, and fun, AVOID THIS BOOK.

Time and again, the vicious raiders known as the Nihil have sought to bring the golden age of the High Republic to a fiery end. Time and again, the High Republic has emerged battered and weary but victorious thanks to its Jedi protectors—and there is no monument to their cause grander than the Starlight Beacon.

9 hours before any action
Revisado: 03-17-22
Plodding, bloated, padded to meet the assigned page count; this is the kind of garbage you get when you farm your writing out.
It's hard to say this was a bad Star Wars book because it's really not a Star Wars book in the first place. It's like she had an outline for a natural disaster book, then was told to write a huge Star Wars book; the result is about 20 minutes of plot agonizingly stretched over 13 hours.
In this "Star Wars" "adventure" story, the first blaster doesn't even go off until about 9 hours in.
I get the impression that this author is far more comfortable with much shorter stories and more juvenile audiences.
Star Wars novels are never going to be high art, but they should at least be about, you know, Star Wars.

Solid writing
Revisado: 11-15-21
Great characters, solid story. A little odd to hear a first person narrator in the medieval genre, but it worked. Frequently jarring shifts in past and present tense tripped me up.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 116
The battlefields of the 31st century are commanded by the BattleMech, 12-meter-tall, 100-ton bipedal engines of destruction. Fought by MechWarriors, commanded by neo-feudal officers, owned by national governments and band of mercenaries, these ’Mechs make every other ground combat vehicle obsolete. This is the warfare of fusion-powered giants. This is BattleTech.

Solid story in any universe
Revisado: 10-12-21
No knowledge of BattleTech needed. This story could be set on contemporary Earth, or a fastest world; it would still be excellent.
That said, it's easily the most I've enjoyed a BattleTech story.
warning: no mechs even appear until the end, so if you think that your getting a shootemup stompy robot tale, you're not.

God awful
Revisado: 10-05-21
This book was the literary equivalent of a bag of cheap potato chips; mostly empty air, and then what you do manage to get is bland and unsatisfying.
I'll be avoiding anything by Cavan forever.

Young Fitz, the illegitimate son of the noble Prince Chivalry, is ignored by all royalty except the devious King Shrewd, who has had him tutored him in the dark arts of the assassin. He has barely survived his first, soul-shattering mission, and when he returns to the court, he is thrown headfirst into the tumult of royal life.

For charming con man Rodrick and his talking sword, Hrym, life is all about taking what you can and getting away clean. But when the pair are arrested in the crusader nation of Lastwall, Rodrick faces immediate execution, with Hrym spending the rest of eternity trapped in an enchanted scabbard. Their only hope lies in a secret government program in which captured career criminals are teamed up and sent on suicide missions too sensitive for ordinary soldiers.
