:So, I recently got the new novel about Revan. It starts out really cool you got revan Bastila canderous. and then it just completely goes downhill. The novel just really ended up bad. If you were gonna buy this for closure to the KOTOR series you may wanna skip it for many reasons: WARNING VERY MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD
1) This book is hardly about Revan
The book entitled "Revan" has Revan in about 1/3 of it in fact he's in 10 of the first 60 pages. The majority of the book is about our new villian Darth "scourge". Not to mention the fact that revan spends 1/3 of that time in prison...
2) Where is everyone???
4 of the many many charcters from the original KOTOR are in the book. None of the others even have a small cameo. Carth, Jolee, Mission, Juhani, and Zaalbar were hardly mentioned HK-47 was mentioned in one line. Bastila only has a few short appearences and for the time shes on she's not the sassy jedi we met on tairs she's practically a housewife. Another dissapointing part is when Canderous suggests to Revan that they get the "gang" back togethor (I got amazingly excited) and then Revan politely declines for no apparent reason....The only insight they give into the charcters are some short one sentence blurbs about some boring stuff they're up too
3) Poor Writing
Given I'm no critic but the writing is just kinda lazy I really didn't ahve any good visuals in my head, the fight scenes were a little bland and too wordy I don't know it just seemed a little undone.
I thought the new novel was putrid as to what I was expecting who knows you may like it I'm not trying to ward anyone away from it this is just my take. Regardless of how bad it was it was still nice to see revan and canderous and the exile again so I guess it's not compeltely bad. 2 stars at best in my opinion I'm quite tempted to write fan-fic against this abomination or at elast bang my head against the wall until I forget everything that happens.
