Qui-Gon be like: touch grass

Revisado: 06-03-24

Unelected officials with tons of mystical power go and reach out to the people they're supposed to take care of. Lot of story to get to the point. I'll admit to listening with one ear at times. It's alright.

Dawson strikes again

Revisado: 08-20-23

Another story that serves to show how mistaken the Jedi were in their approach to the Force. It also shows how, in our own world, refusing to see people for what they truly are can have dire consequences. Some people need more help than others. Good writing and a nice flavour to the narration.

Gripping and immersive

Revisado: 07-04-23

A testament to the power of literature. Though I know very little about this time and these people, I could see and hear them all through the text and the narration. I'm less and less hesitant to listen to fiction rather than read it.

The themes and ideas expressed here are quite relatable. This story tells the "one" story of humanity brilliantly as it examines the perseverance of this one community agent.

Excellent book!

Good Star Wars is somewhat political, y'all

Revisado: 06-14-23

it took me this long to realise that the path of the open hand is a Star Wars translation of far-right movements that prey on disenfranchised people. Led by a lying grifter who's in it for their own gain, they claim to try and restore a so-called natural order that has eluded civilization. But they don't account for people who don't think as they do, they even actively try and hurt them.

I'm not saying that the Mother is *that one guy*, but I'm not not saying it.

Marda thus appears as a tragic figure of the insecure and sensitive person who becomes corrupt when she first fights back and tastes power.

The Jedi are cool. Love wins.

This was a book

Revisado: 05-31-23

Let's just say that we've read better video game tie-ins. I like the Fallen Order cast a lot, but this felt like those episodes of Naruto that were produced because they were catching up to the manga and needed to pass the time.

Not yet knowing what happens in Survivor, I can't appreciate what it does for character development but the story in itself feels very forgettable.

The narration moves around and almost everyone has a pov moment here and there. It's kinda hard to know who's the main character. The overall tone is (for my taste) a bit too modern and internet-culture like. I like my Star Wars to read and sound like it is removed from us, but it's just me.

Unfortunately, I stopped caring about this book as soon as it ended. I don't particularly enjoy this feeling, but it is what it is.

Nice intro to phase 2

Revisado: 10-25-22

It's intriguing enough and starts to give context and backstory to some of the elements of phase 1. I didn't pay the closest attention all the way through but it was interesting enough. I'm ok board for what comes next

Nice enough

Revisado: 08-23-22

It's a few entertaining hours. Basically, confronting yourself to reality is the way to rid yourself of negative thoughts and doubts. Enjoyable story.

A good book for a bad story

Revisado: 07-25-22

If, like me, you consider The Rise of Skywalker to be an awful end to the saga in many ways, you'll find some of the stupid elements in this book. Yet, in this stupid context, the book works. Mostly. The plot is solid, the new characters are alright. However, something is bugging me: plenty of Lando's pain about the kidnapping of his daughter (a thoroughly stupid decision by the IX team), yet no word about what the mother feels, which is weird. One would hope that both parents would be affected by this loss. Anyway. The Sith stuff is alright, and although it brings new entries into lore and canon, it feels like a side quest, which is probably why it's a book. It's a small, episodic event that should feel bigger, yet it doesn't. The connections to larger SW canon are well made. Here's one author who collaborates with the story group!

The performance is good. I don't hate Thompson, but I do appreciate a break from his voice. There's just two voices that don't work: Beaumont Kin (stupid character) with the French accent and Pryde with an American one. That's sort of a continuity mistake but it doesn't matter much.

All in all, a good book.

I didn't want to know what happened on Cato Neimodia because stories are sometimes better off not explaining mysteries but it's a'ight
