After a bit Ventress comes more into play and it starts to feel more like both their stories. Probably also due to the episode structure, the beginning of the book feels like it’s Vos’ story. But if you want to read it as one big story, it’s awkward. The television show episode structure is still readily apparent, which might not be the worst if you want to imagine this as more episodes of The Clone Wars.
Too soon the pacing of Dark Disciple becomes the world’s most consistently disappointing rollercoaster with long, info-dumping setups and blink-and-you’ll-miss-it payoffs over and over again. So how does this story keep its tension and interest when the outcome of the mission can’t hold that? We already know from the movies how Count Dooku dies, and it isn’t by the hand of Quinlan Vos or Asajj Ventress. Like other recent Star Wars book releases, setting this story between the movies leaves the author with a challenge. While it started out fine, reading Dark Disciple eventually became one of those latter times.Ĭhristie Golden’s latest is based on an unproduced eight-episode arc of The Clone Wars television series and finds the Jedi Council assigning Jedi Quinlan Vos to team up with former dark-sider Asajj Ventress to end Count Dooku’s reign of terror. Although some of those times you don’t want to put it down because you know if you do, you won’t pick it back up again.
There are times when you find yourself unable to put down a book you’re reading.
