Filled with a reverence for the OT, the EU believably continued the story, not only developing its existing elements, but also deepening the Star Wars universe with new characters and new threats. Through this elaborate tapestry of interlocking plot lines, top science fiction writers grew the original space myth into a fascinating, and mostly well-thought-out legendarium. Consisting of hundreds of officially licensed novels and comic books that spanned the thousands of years before and the decades after the events of the original trilogy (OT), the EU was, for years, the home of Star Wars fandom.

Aiden and Elsa’s story has been quite a roller coaster ride. I knew this book would be good and it certainly lived up to my expectations. ![]() Still gonna continue my Rina Kent binge anyway! For that reason, I am rating this two stars instead of the one I was initially going to rate it.Īny why one star? Because of the initial reasons I mentioned above coupled with the fact that I just can't in good conscience rate a book I skimmed so heavily any higher than that.īut oh well. As a result, I already knew some of the twists that occurred here and therefore didn't have that surprise/tension that I might have experienced otherwise. The bright side is that at least this was one of her earlier works, which means I have already seen how she has progressed with her writing and storytelling since then (as the series I first read by her were written later than this one).Īnd in Kent's defense, I also did read these connected series VERY out of order. It just felt very.directionless, messy, and childish, sadly. Literally, the same thoughts, emotions, and plot directives regurgitated themselves over and over again here. It was SO repetitive with the characters' inner thoughts and motivations. I really enjoyed book one, but the book two and three writing felt like it was done by a different author. Honestly, I'm glad this series wasn't my first thing by Rina Kent or I might have never made it to the other series I loved. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky with an Introduction by Richard Pevear Read more Details Brimming with magic and incident, it is full of imaginary, historical, terrifying and wonderful characters, from witches, poets and Biblical tyrants to the beautiful, courageous Margarita, who will do anything to save the imprisoned writer she loves.

Written in secret during the darkest days of Stalin's reign, The Master and Margarita became an overnight literary phenomenon when it was finally published it, signalling artistic freedom for Russians everywhere.
