Things I liked: the writing! The motifs! Obi-Wan Kenobi! The description of Anakin Skywalker’s inner turmoil! Ouch that ending hurt!
Things I did not like: Why was Anakin sleeping with his prosthetic arm (I’ll give it a tentative pass bc sci-fi)? Why was there a whole passage talking about how the most defining thing about Padmé was that she was Anakin’s wife? And does this author not know how pregnancy labour works?
Ultimately, the negatives are little pet peeve-y things, and the good definitely outweighs the bad. Superb novelisation.
