Book Reviews of The Best Blades (Star Wars: Clone Wars, Vol. 5)
Book Review: Forgettable End
Summary: 3 Stars
So far, I think as an overall contribution to the Dark Horse Clone Wars series, this has been the weakest book. I really enjoyed everything but Yoda: The Best Blades at the end.
The first 3/4 helped advance the storyline with Obi Wan and Alpha, but then the entire story-telling experience changes with Yoda: The Best Blades. The style and tone of the story is dis-similar to anything so far in the series. There were basic elements that helped define Yoda and his support for the war, but I really couldn't get past the Japanese drawing. If I wanted that style of storytelling, I would've bought The Best Blades as a stand-alone.
Of course, whether I loved the book or not, it is book 5 of 9, and the story must continue. You can't leave out such big plot points as introduced here.
