There was a lot going on in this book. I’m glad I had the script, as I guess I would’ve had trouble following along with the audio, if only for the number of characters. The script format does lend well to the action-based writing, though. Things unfolded quickly and it contributed to the sense of urgency the author tried to convey.
I did like Keth, as well as the relationship between Aida and Creighton. Unfortunately, apart from them I didn’t care much for anyone. I feel the characters were underdeveloped and the plot itself didn’t feel as poignant as the end of phase 1.
I am mainly continuing with this for the sake of understanding Marchion Ro’s past. Everything else is okay, but doesn’t draw me in much.

And I like how it ties into episodes of The Clone Wars. Because despite being Legends due to its release date, it can be canon in my heart and not contradict actual canon. Best of both worlds.
I will say I was not the biggest fan of how Yoda was depicted and his trust in Palpatine, but considering he wasn’t there much I won’t take off stars for it.

For a middle grade story, I'd say it should satisfy the younger readers. The inclusion of a space version of miners' cancer was an interesting touch, as well as the father and son dynamic.

Not my favourite, but an alright follow up to Path of Deceit. I did like Phan-Tu and Xiri’s relationship though.

I didn't love being reminded that Yana and Marda are Evereni every other page, but the racism underlying the discourse around them is a pretty good analogy for our world.
