Just finished this and you echo my exact thoughts. This felt like a beautifully crafted poem that Mike made not only for clone wars era fans, but also to his partner. He definitely understood what he wanted to do with this book.

I realllly wanna see Mike Chen do more Star Wars novels in the future now. This book just shows he understands how Star Wars should feel so well, especially the prequel era in particular

I'm only a few chapters in and I'm enjoying it so far. Loved seeing some 2D Clone Wars references.

I just finished this book! So much fun! I love the dynamic between Obi-wan and Anakin! Anakin's relationship with the youngling, Mill, was also a high point of this book for me!

In honor of Mike Chen’s amazing passion and attention of the prequels: ”Hello There!” Keep up the great reviews and recommendations!

This book is everything I love about the canon books. It nails the characters and gives even more depth to these characters which is a tall order considering how much of thier timelines are mapped out. My favorite Easter eggs were the reference to the ROTS novelization and the Dr Who reference in there. I absolutely loved this book and can’t wait for more SW books written by this guy!

I purchased this book after watching the Kenobi series on Disney+. i hope to read it this year. I have read another book by this author "Here and Now and Then". i loved it.

so many great videos here! it will take me a while to catch up :)

Dude I had no interest in reading this book because it’s part of the new Disney canon. I only like the LEGENDS canon. But we share the same passion for many book series. I’m a HUGE fan of Star Wars legends, any non-Star wars Zahn book, shanarra books and landover books. We also have the same exact opinions on the Game of thrones novels. I decided to pull the plug and buy the novel. You have won me over with your opinions and reviews. Keep up the great work! Subbed!

I love your enthusiasm. I'm just starting my Star Wars books journey, and you are an excellent guide. Subbed.

Very fitting that this review is out on the 20th anniversary of Attack of the Clones! You’ve really helped turn me on to this one. I was intending to read it sometime anyway, but now I think it’ll be a priority when it comes to Star Wars novels. I’ve not seen much of The Clone Wars (I’ll get there eventually, just haven’t yet) but I am a big fan of AOTC, so I’m hoping this book will appeal to me in that sense. Your comparison to Master and Apprentice also excites me-I wasn’t absolutely blown away by it as a whole, but I loved how the relationship between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan was handled there

Great review! I loved this book too, gave it 4.5 stars. As you said, he nailed the tone of the book. I especially like how he explored Padme and Anakin's relationship. My favorite parts hands down, (without giving spoilers away!) were Obi Wan's musings about a certain someone in his past. It was EVERYTHING I've ever wanted in regards to how Obi Wan views his time with this person. They seems to be in the forefront of Obi Wan's mind frequently, especially as he watches Anakin and Padme; the way Chen explores that made my heart so happy! Also, all of the fun cameos, throwbacks and references were amazing. There were SO many and which showed off just how much Chen loves Star Wars. You can tell when the author is a fan of the source material, and I think it makes the books better. I agree with you too about Master and Apprentice. I re-read that book in preparation for this one, and it fit together seamlessly! I can't wait to see what Mike Chen comes up with next! Edit: Oh- I don't think this one is the cameo you're referencing, but I will say, when I read the cameo regarding a Jedi master and the "youngling accompanying him", I literally squealed out loud with excitement and had to put the book down for about 10 minuets as I freaked out!!! I was so excited to see them referenced in a book! I take it back, that might have been my favorite part of the entire book! XD

This book looks good, just ordered. Also this channel is severely underrated. Great content and a true passion for reading!!!

Great review. I think Mike Chen nailed the characters of Obi-Wan and Anakin. This added so much to my perception of them especially in The Clone Wars. It made me instantly want to rewatch the show.

I've got about 70 pages left and I absolutely agree with everything you've said. Chen completely nailed the tone, characters, and wrote an excellently intricate yet lighthearted plot. I'm absolutely loving this book. Especially the fact that it's canonized a few things from the original clone wars series, and there was a fun little cameo in the beginning. Just a fantastic book.

Just finished the book this morning! LOVED IT! 10/10 for me!! 🙂🙂🙂

I’m so excited to read this!

I would be down for a 6 book series about the clone wars with Mike Chen as the writer

The very first Star Wars book I have read is Shadow of the Sith. That book is … meh. After watching this review for Brotherhood I wish my first book was this one. You sold me on it. Just bought it. I hope it lives up to the hype.

It is the first star wars book I've read and I'm definitely looking up to read more star wars canon, probably Master and Apprentice. I'm a big fan of The Clone Wars show and this book really feels like a long arc of it but at the same time like a perfect connection with attack of the clones. Obi Wan is one of my favorites characters and in this book he really shows his negotiator habilities

Your review just convinced me to get it so thanks for that!

I’m someone now getting into reading Star Wars books and my favourite part of the timeline is the prequels, ie I’ll be reading this soon and what other prequel books do you recommend for me? Keep up the great work with your videos

A surprise to be sure but a welcome one

Oh, i really hope this book will be transleted and published in my country. Of course there is an ebook, but i prefere printed ones more. Btw is Shatterpoint worth trying if i don't really like Mace Windu as a character?

Hey Jon, I have to admit it, I just started reading Light of the jedi, All these characters in the first 5 chapters is down right confusing to me. I don't know, should I keep going?? I'm not feeling this.

This was just a blast to read wasn't it. Mike Chen poured all his love for the prequel era into this book and I could feel it all the way. I agree with the slight spoilers in marketing, don't know why they feel like they have to reveal cool stuff like that. The same with The Fallen Star and Shadow of the Sith aswell, would rather go in as blind as possible. Star Wars book fans will most likely buy the book regardless. Anyways huge thanks to Mike for this amazing book and in perfect time for the Kenobi show, hopefully we get some Clone Wars flashbacks in there.

I was always going to get this lol But now I’m going to get it sooner!

Loved it read it in 2 days.

Really, how many Obi wan and Anakin books do we need?

"open world in Coruscant - SW TOR enter the chat xD I know, not open- wrold per se, but it is closeset thing so far ^^

Is this book cannon?
