Description
“The path has been placed before you, Anakin.
The choice to take it must be yours alone.”
On the barren desert world of Tatooine, young Anakin Skywalker toils by day and dreams by night . . . of traveling the stars to worlds he’s only heard of in stories. When Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, cross paths with Anakin, it marks the beginning of the drama that will become legend. Courageous to the point of recklessness, Anakin comes of age in a time of great upheaval. The attempted assassination of Senator Padmé Amidala thrusts the Republic close to the edge of disaster–and brings Anakin and Padmé into a secret romance as intense as it is forbidden.
As combat escalates across the galaxy, the stage is set for an explosive endgame. Tormented by unspeakable visions, Anakin edges closer to the brink of a decision with profound ramifications. It remains only for Darth Sidious to strike the final staggering blow against the Republic–and to ordain a fearsome new Sith Lord: Darth Vader.

I’ve always loved the Star Wars movies, especially the prequels. Those have been my favourites since I’ve first watched them as a child. I recently rewatched the movies and they were just as phenomenal as they used to be :') And the books added so much more to it! While the movies are great due to the fantastic portrayal of the characters by the actors, the beautiful music and those amazing visuals, I’ve always had a hard time following the politics of Star Wars. Mostly because sitting still for two hours is almost impossible to me. With the books, however, you do get a lot more insight into the characters and the politics which makes the entire story so much better! I enjoyed getting to know the characters more, seeing what they think, scenes that added so much more to the characters‘ background. It was an amazing experience. Out of all three books, the third one was my favourite though. Matthew Stover did a phenomenal job in telling the story of the third movie. Of Anakin and Obi-Wan. Of Palpatine who manipulated all of it. The way he wrote it gave me emotional whiplash but it was so well done. It felt like I was there as a spectator to all of it, not able to interfere. Getting traumatised all over again. It was a fun time, albeit an emotional one. I'd recommend watching the movies first though and then read the books, since the descriptions of the non-human characters were a little lackluster at times. But definitely read the books!
