I now know what the phrase Telbun means in Star Wars, very Handmaids Tale. Not something you’d expect to find in Star Wars.

Flown through this like I’m in my own X Wing!

Now I know where I am in the Timeline!!

Stackpole is definitely a bit more saucy in his writing than other Star Wars authors; collarbones, jawlines and everyone has a level of attractiveness.

Having heard the characters be introduced, I think I know what happens. I, Jedi may have included the odd spoiler for this. However, book 2 is the Big Read in this series for me.

Just a short warm tale or two before I take on a bulk read with Star Wars. So far, homely and warm is the feeling; despite murder.

Book is gooood

Back into Star Wars!! I have theories about what this book will contain, looking forward to see if I am correct.

I’ve kind of fallen in love with some of the characters now. Certain people’s charms are truly shining, if you read it you’ll know exactly who I’m talking about. The humour is now hitting too as the characters have been expanded upon, playing into their personalities well.

Really enjoying the humour now.

A compelling villain has been revealed. I’m interested to see how it all pans out already, and who comes out on top. The plot is laid out, complications are being foretold, and the past is expressing itself in the present. Old warriors are going to have long pasts to draw from, and that is being used well. My worry is the predictability… time will tell.

A tame start, introducing characters with good pacing. The book lets me adjust to each new face before bringing in someone new. Each new character is more interesting than the last, which is a relief and a pay off to the first hour which dragged a touch. The campaign is now flowing, long live Moog!!

5 hours to go. The humour is now really starting to land, the characters emotions and reactions add far more depth to the text now.

On to part 4. In getting closer to some characters, I feel others have distanced a bit. It could be a case of how long the book is, I’m not sure.

Wtf

The gang are utilising their talents more and more, character progression is occurring. I’m enjoying the journey.

25 hour read 😅

Sunny ( no idea how to spell it, audiobook) is a favourite character already. Everyone has their own quirks, and nightmares it seems.

A strange assortment of characters

So much swearing 😂 I didn’t think I’d notice, but I did and it comes thick and fast. This book certainly has a way with words and I like the little thoughts that go through the characters heads, be it after a piece of dialogue or them witnessing something. It helps build the characters up well. On to Chapter 5 next.

This is a very good read. I’m really surprised how much I’m enjoying this. I knew I liked Rutger Bergman, didn’t know he could hold attention this well.

So I want to read Two Devils, but I want a good 3hr block of time to get stuck in. So I picked this up for the spare half hour here and there… now I’m 5hrs in 😂

Probably means I’m enjoying it. The slander of journalism is slight, and subtle but completely brutal. Really well done so far.

A little more enjoyable, but I don’t think I’ll continue the series after this one.

Not a huge fan so far. Take me back to Agatha Christie
