Publisher's Summary

Padawan Reath Silas is being sent from the cosmopolitan galactic capital of Coruscant to the undeveloped frontier - and he couldn't be less happy about it. He'd rather stay at the Jedi Temple, studying the archives. But when the ship he's traveling on is knocked out of hyperspace in a galactic-wide disaster, Reath finds himself at the center of the action. The Jedi and their traveling companions find refuge on what appears to be an abandoned space station. But then strange things start happening, leading the Jedi to investigate the truth behind the mysterious station, a truth that could end in tragedy....

Underwhelming

Underwhelming is pretty much how I feel having just finished the book. The story, the characters, the world building... all fall flat. Very disappointed.

Getting better

It wasn't as difficult to finish as the first book of the series and was certainly more cohesively written. While the story was well written, there were at times it slipped out off Star Wars. I don't know how to describe it other than to say that certain concepts were described in a high fantasy lexicon (words like black magic, cursed, hell, damned, breathing mask instead of rebreather, ect.). This was infrequent for the most part but really pull you out of the Star Wars state of mind and made the story feel like it was translated into Star Wars as opposed to being written within the Star Wars universe. It also followed Disney's reluctance to write anything significantly impactful or important to the Star Wars universe but at least the story was entertaining enough with unique characters such as Geode.

wonderful voice acting

Leon Dejossi sounded just like Matthew McConaughey, just the way I imagined it. Nan sounded like a Muppet, that made it weird

it was okay at best.

It didn't feel like a Star Wars story. I really hope they do a better job with future Star Wars novels.

best of the series so far.

This book has everything your looking for in a Star Wars story. All of the Characters were built beautifully and I am hoping for more stories following these characters.

Bland wars

This books does not add to the myths of star wars. Felt like a cookie cutter adventure where the DM stole some dry toast and tried to make it sound like a high class grilled cheese sandwich. The poured luke warm water one it. Sure the toast had a bit of character, and there was one twist, but not worth a second go through.

Voice actor guy was super cool :)

The voice acting was decent, but the amount of characters was confusing, and being split up from the main character was a little weird for me, but the book satisfied my Star Wars needs lol

Major audio issues with the recording

Not sure what’s up but allllll of the background tracks (music, audio fx etc.) are distorted and crackling. I’ve listened to the audiobook on three devices and all have the issue. Someone needs to look into this.
