January 28, 2020: after reading it

For me, Master and Apprentice wasn't easy to get along with, at first: I struggled a bit to get a sense of the characters and found it to be a bit slow, but once I got into it, I really enjoyed it!

Every tiny bit of world-building in this galaxy always makes me the happiest: in this, I loved that it explored the prophecies, as well as kyber crystals (I just love when they talk about the kyber crystals, what can I say) and how rebellious Qui-Gon was (he was so right, I'm super mad at the Jedi Council too). Reading about Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan's relationship wasn't always easy, as it was quite tense for most of the novel, but I loved how it was developed and how they got closer in the end, it made me so happy. I also really enjoyed getting little glimpses of Count Dooku's past, his relationship with Qui-Gon and the characters wondering what he was up to now, it made me super excited to read Dooku: Jedi Lost in the future! The last chapter, set at the end of The Phantom Menace, made me cry so much though, and now I feel like a prequel trilogy rewatch is more than in order.

All in all, it's not my favourite of Claudia Gray's Star Wars novel (my heart belongs to Bloodline), but it was still pretty good, it made me nostalgic and I had a nice time reading it, so it worked for me. I only have Lost Stars left, then I'll be all caught up with Claudia Gray's Star Wars novels, so I can't wait to get to that one!

A NEW STAR WARS BOOK BY CLAUDIA GRAY. I NEED IT NOW.

Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

We've been given so much new content for the prequel trilogy lately and it's making me appreciate this era more than I used to, I am so happy.
