Crying at my desk. 

I’ve read very few Star Wars books, and honestly don’t know much about the Star Wars extended universe, but damn was this good. It follows Vos, a Jedi Knight, who is sent to team up with a Jedi-turned-Sith, Ventress, to assassinate Count Dooku. 

I loved these characters. The light side vs. the dark side can seem very hokey and lame, but with these characters, it became so much more real and visceral. I mean, you can really see why/how a character could be lost to hate, because the tiny things just end up snowballing, and by the time you notice it happening it can be too late. These people went through dark shit! 

It was exciting and heartbreaking and moving seeing these characters wrestle with their humanity and what they owed one another. I love them even when I hate them. I am sad. I want more! I’ll for sure be checking out more Star Wars books from this author.
