I'd have never thought of an idea like this.
Good to see how Anakin deals with the struggles put before him, and how Obi-Wan sees how powerful he (Ani) is, but how unbalanced he really is.
Tarkin is a menace. Yikes. You can his mentality, and his desire for power in this story.
The mixture of man/machine, sort of a foreshadowing of future events...playing upon Anakin's Force strength, but also alluring as a temptation IMO.
In other ways, this story was not as deep as I wanted, and in other ways...it touched upon situations that could have been more impactful.
I'm not sure how OTHER people feel about this book. It is better than average, but not much (sadly). I really wanted this book to "scratch an itch", but it didn't....and now I am going to be reading some more Middle Grade reads for a while...as I read through Star Wars: Legends (RIse of the Empire era).
I am really looking forward to reading (consistently) adult novels within this franchise. Oh well.
