A very good and mature adaptation of a decent kids movie. Traviss is certainly one of the best Star Wars writers out there, as evidenced by how compelling she made this story.

more A very good and mature adaptation of a decent kids movie. Traviss is certainly one of the best Star Wars writers out there, as evidenced by how compelling she made this story. By cutting out most of the hokey lines and adding depth and reflection to the characters's actions, Traviss made this a wonderful story to read. Especially satisfying were the passages from Anakin's conflicted and clone captain Rex's ordinary-man persepctive that adds a fresh quality to the story. What I didn't like though were the passages from Palpatines POV, writing him in his duplicitous way. We know what happens in Episode 3, but it takes something out of the whole Clone Wars saga to see things through Palpatine's eyes. And second, probably under time pressure, she cut out a lot of scenes that were in the movie that affects the ending, like the Kenobi/Ventress fight and Padme/Ziro scenes. Other than that, a very good adaptation and something SW fans should read if they feel cheated by the movie.
