Star Wars: Brotherhood

An excellent book, that gets better as it goes along. I was a bit worried because the book started out a bit slow, and not very action packed, but as the further I read the mire the pace of the book made sense.This is book covers the transition period, after Atrack of the Clones, (and Queen's Hope), Anakin becoming a Jedi Knight from a Padawan. The change in rank also affects his relationship with Obi-Wan. Though technically Obi-Wan still outranks him, he us no longer has direct master. I also like Obi-Wan's insecurities about his worthiness of his new position. Another great touch in this book is the fact that Obi-Wan recognises a position Anakin is in as he could have made a similar choice in his life.The side/supporting characters in this book are also great. They really add to both Obi-Wan and Anakin's development. Also the plotting and grooming of Anakin by Palpatine. As well as the first meeting on another classic Clone Wars character.Another great think about this book gets points for is dealing with Anakin's physical injury from Dooku. This is a great transition book for growth and character development. In the acknowledgement page thanks other writers and the collaboration between them is obvious.

Mike Chen loves the prequels. So much he seems less concerned with character development, finding an interesting angle to pit us us in the action or to find a rhythm/pace of his own and just tackling issues, such as line readings or dialogue, much mocked from George Lucas's ATTACK OF THE CLONES.It comes across, as if Chen wants to lend weight or a broader understanding of such lines as, "I don't like sand!" that, and many other pieces of prequel lore that's faced critical mauling. It's rather Reddit fan-fictiony.Don't bother. It adds nothing.

This tells the story of Obi-Wan & Anakin coming to terms with their relationship after Anakin becomes a Jedi. While I generally enjoyed the book there is one tiny point with the ending that niggled me, but it’s probably just me.

The best writing and layout of any book I've ever read, the short chapters each from a different characters perspective just make it so easy to read chapter after chapter. It's a phenomenal book with a really well thought out explanation for Anakin as a person and why he is the way he is. The ending just...makes sense and personifies Anakin to a whole other level.

Brilliant writing, perfect era and amazing characters development. The story doesn’t seem to absolute shock and awe you but the way we get perspectives and the intricacies of Obi-Wan and Anakin’s relationship after his graduation is brilliant. Just want you want from a story
