Even as someone who hasn't watched Clone Wars yet (shh, I'm working on it,) this was a fun little romp that I would have absolutely loved as a kid. There were parts of it that made me go 'bzuh??' specifically regarding Breaker's character--I wasn't sure like if he was being coded as like autistic at times, or if spoilers were part of that, but it was all very weird. Also there was like a very unsubtle reference to the movie that I think kids would find delightful.

I might actually look for the second book, though, because I do want to know what happens next with these characters, and these are very soft and lovely and remind me of getting into Star Wars as a kid, which is nice. ( )

This exciting book is about a Jedi named Nuru and a squad of clone troopers. They are on a secret mission to find information about the deathly Malevolence, an ion cannon used by the evil General Grievous. Searching through the rubbish of the broken ship, they found a clue that lead to a hidden planet named Kynachi. On their way to the hidden planet their shuttle was shot down by one of the ships belonging to the evil Trade Federation. On Kynachi, they find a small town that was under control by thousands of battle droid. A Duros bounty hunter named Cad Bane wanted to help the soldiers to stop the Sith’s reign of power. They also found out one of the prisons hold some of the Republic troops that survived the crash. Can they trust Cad or is he hiding something from them. Read the book to find out.

I think this is a good book because it has everything I like about Star Wars in one book. The best part of the book was when snuck into the prison to rescue the remaining troopers. The worst part was when Nuru was ambushed by 3 squads of battle droids. I think all of the character had great discretions in this novel. If were to pick my most personal favorite character it would be Cad Bane because everyone likes a good double agent. If I were to pick my least favorite character it would be Darth Sidious because he wasn’t in the book a lot. If you like Star Wars books then this is the book for you. ( )

I think this book is cool because its about bounty hunters battle droids fighting clones and action. ( )
