I was a bit unsure about these Clone Wars books which have been born from the cartoon as I thought they might be aimed at the younger generation but I found it very entertaining!
Well written and gives a good insight into the clone troopers.

As I've mentioned previously with Karen's work you fit into one of two categories, either you love her, or you cannot stand her. It is a real shame but she does do first person warfare pretty well and in the Clone War's series, it is a damn good thing that she does. Whilst her characterisation is a little hap hazard at times, the fact that when it comes to the nitty gritty of down in the mud entrenched warfare, there's very few who bring the scene to life in quite the same way. That said the novel is quite short which lets the novel down quite a lot as we know that she has to rush a lot of the things that we feel would build the universe up to a greater height.
Perhaps Karen should branch out on her own and create a universe that she can get behind to take the time to produce the type of book that many of her fans are crying out for. After all, were she to develop characters to their full potential and back it up with her style of warfare, the result would win a legion of additional fans to take on the Sci-Fi genre on their own.

Having read, and very much enjoyed, Karen Traviss' novelisation of the Clone Wars film I was eagerly anticipating her latest addition to this mini saga.
However, I sadly felt this book lacked the excitement, pace and humour of the Clone Wars novelisation. I found it as hard going and difficult to visualise as I did her Republic Commando books. There wasn't much of a plot and what little there was wasn't at all captivating.
I have said many times that I like Karen Traviss and think what she has brought to the Expanded Universe is excellent, especially her work with the Clones and Mandalorian culture. My problem with her is that I find her writing very dull. It's easy to fall asleep during chapters and I can never figure out who anybody is. This book was no different.
It did have its good points. As much as I hate the train wreck that was "Planet of Twilight" by Barbara Hambly, I did like the way Traviss filled in some of the holes regarding the Altis Jedi group and this might make her books slightly less painful if I ever dare to pick them up again - which is highly unlikely. Callista is a good character and the subtle hints we got as to what would become of her were written well. Including other well known characters like Pellaeon was also good. I like reading new books that bridge gaps between older novels and deal with clearing up some inconsistencies brought on by the prequels. Traviss handled this very well.
So what is my verdict? Well I'd say that it is probably worth buying if you are a real fan of the books but it's definitely not one of the best.
