I'm more than halfway through it and nothing can save it now. This one is a turd (I am trying to finish it though).
I guess it's possible that had I read the previous comics of the same name this book might be a little better, but still not Good.
It's also possible that having read almost the entire expanded universe that I'm a bit jaded now.

Finished.

Meh. ( )

This is a great look inside the various machinations of sith lords and how they each choose to rule their empires. I also like the realizations that Kerra (main character) made during her dealings / battles with the various sith she encountered. I enjoyed reading about a classic bothan spy again even though he was a sith agent (double, triple, ???). I've now have to go find Kerra's continued adventures in graphic forms. ( )

A razor thin plot with forced jumps from one sith lord/action scene to another. Kerra Holt is a pathetic excuse for a jedi character and she seems to really be skirting the darkside edge, with all her anger and hate. Miller needs to stick to his short stories and leave the novels to those who can handle it. ( )

John Jackson Miller is an amazing author, which is why this novel was so disappointing. I've read the Knight Errant comic series that precedes this and was hoping to get into the head of Kerra more. What is the role of a Jedi alone in Sith space, or how does Kerra deal with her desire for vengeance, were some of the questions I was hoping the novel would address.

Instead we follow Kerra on a series of adventures across Sith space, but along the way are not given a clear indication of the larger plot. During the last third of the book everything eventually comes together, but I could see a less determined reader dropping out much earlier in the book.

While this book takes Kerra on quite a wild ride, where one event leads right into another, any momentum gained is lost whenever the focus transitions to a variety of secondary characters. This happens a lot and personally I would have preferred the entire novel from Kerra's point of view.

Kerra is an interesting character that could have been more fleshed out in the novel format, and have been part of a much more interesting story. ( )

Star Wars Knight Errant is perhaps one of the most action packed Old Republic novels ever written. The story takes place a thousand years before Luke Skywalker and a generation before Darth Bane, in a galaxy far, far away. Of course the rule of two has not yet been initiated and thus hundreds and hundreds of Sith roam the galaxy unchecked. But there is one lone Jedi, whom this story revolves around, that dares to defy them. Her name is Kerra Holt. If you are looking for an intriguing tale full of wild adventure, awesome new worlds, crazy plot twists, Sith vs Jedi and every thing you've come to expect from Star Wars, this is your book. ( )
