medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The best parts and what kept me reading until the end was Darth Vader and Luke. Otherwise the plot wasn’t that great and the writing itself was just ok.

The ending was what got this three stars. There was a lot of military detail leading up to the actual fight scenes, but when it got there it fell flat and felt rushed. There was an appearance of a character that was an unexpected surprise and Anakin finally getting Knighted was what really made it worth reading.
