![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Anakin’s goodness is on full display here, from his raw connection to Padmé Amidala, to his vulnerability talking about his mother in a teaching moment. The novel's greatest feat is its portrayal of Skywalker, whom Kenobi described as “a good friend” in "Episode IV – A New Hope." But fans haven't gotten this elaborate of a portrayal to the good side of the future Darth Vader – until now. Chen does an excellent job tying macro to micro, wisely using Neimoidian culture to unpack emotions tied to the prejudice of being a cog in a machine, bringing a humanity to the Neimoidians who question their place, and adding nuance through enjoyable characters like soldier Ruug Quarnom. Cato Neimoidia, a jewel of the Trade Federation, has remained neutral in the war – neither on the Separatists' or Republic’s side – but the latest attack threatens that neutrality. A terror attack on the planet Cato Neimoidia catapults Kenobi on a mission that turns "Brotherhood" into a partial sci-fi mystery as the cerebral Jedi master unravels a conspiracy. ![]()
