I heard the Star Wars audiobooks are entertaining AF. So, I thought, I would try one with a novel I enjoyed reading. I was not disappointed. The soundtrack from the movies is included, even the droid sounds - the narrator is an excellent voice actor, capturing the characters closely.
The Audiobook transferred me to the galaxy far, far away . . . I was all the characters. I do recommend the audiobook a try or any other Star Wars Audiobook.
First review - Novel: 15 January 2024
"This is a story of love and loss, brotherhood and betrayal, courage and sacrifice, and the death of dreams."
This is my 3rd movie novelization of Star Wars. I liked episode 1 and episode 2, but oooh boy . . . This was magnificent.
The novel is written in 3rd person narrative view. Many descriptions are set in everything, fights, thoughts, and emotions.
This is the fall of Anakin Skywalker and the birth of Darth Vader. The story tells a tragedy with so much drama and intrigue . . . I felt so connected to the universe, and this novel helped me understand the prequel trilogy with answered questions.
Anakin and Padme's tale are that of Romeo and Juliet - their love ignited the stars. I am satisfied with the characters in this prequel trilogy. The authors: Terry Brooks, R.A Salvatore, and Matthew Stover, understood how important it was.
This is also the tale of Sith, who had been forgotten for years. The Jedi became too confident that they would never return, but, without darkness, light cannot survive.
The debate remains - was it the Jedi's fault that Anakin became what he is?
I, who recently became a fan of this universe (to my husband's delight), can agree that this is a must-read for any die-hard Star Wars fan.
Onwards to the next novelization.… (more)
