I really appreciated how dark it went. I still can’t get on board with some of the dialogue and writing styles of Older, but the story on this really gripped me. Great to see the development of Ram as a teacher....more

I went in with high expectations and I must say I think they were mostly met. I wanted to see a bit more of Obi-Wan’s psyche after what he had been through with Anakin but I did love how this wasn’t through Obi-Wan’s eyes and feels almost like a fable that someone has told you about the ‘old crazy Ben’ out in the Jundland Wastes....more

I also really liked her dealing with the legacy of Vader but I must say, it was a slog to get through after the half way point and I genuinely didn’t feel invested enough when they got to Maudur ...more

Exceptionally good again from Cavan. The guy just gets Star Wars and a good Star Wars plot. It didn’t really have any ramifications for the story as a whole but I loved revisiting this era and can’t wait to delve into phase 3 now I’m back with my favourite characters!...more
There’s an amazing story in here, one of friendships souring and friendships found.

It’s great to see characters reconnect and see them change - Vern is certainly doing that - but there’s just too much padding too. Too many chapters where not much happens.
It was till fantastic in the end but I think the pacing was a problem.
The Epilogue was insanely good though and I simply just want to hug Elzar. That man is struggling! ...more

Either way, a nice litCan’t help but feel as though this was both seriously dragged out in places and then too fast in places it needed to slow down. Either way, a nice little story about Phasma that adds needed information, and I’m glad I have read this now giving Black Spire much more narrative. Archex is an incredible creation!...more
