    This is the Star Wars you were looking for!
  

*by F***2 on Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2019*

I started to tear up reading the quote from Qui-Gon on the back. Star Wars has always done this to me, but there's something magical here. It has been 20 years since Phantom Menace. That was the first SW movie I saw in theaters that wasn't the special editions of the original trilogy. I'm a child of the prequels and Clone Wars. There is no doubt you'll enjoy this if you are too! Everyone should enjoy this Master/apprentice dynamic that we simply didn't get enough of in the movie. I was beyond thrilled every second I was reading this mostly because it was from a mostly untouched time set before Phantom Menace.

    Another outstanding book by Claudia Gray!!!
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2019*

As someone who gobbled up all the old Star Wars books that have now passed into Legend... it seems to me that there has never been a better time to travel to the Galaxy far, far away.I read this book in two days, a new record for me.Gray, somehow, just seems to get Star Wars... at least what is most important to me about Star Wars... which is heart, specifically the mystery of the heart and of the universe.The characters are great, the situations on the large scale and small scale are all understandable and believable, the psychologies and philosophies are likewise well written and have weight.  No straw men here.Please please please Claudia... you GET the turmoil and difficulties of striving to do the right thing along with the dangers of attempting to grasp at control to make sure it’s done.  The humility that you write into the character of Qui-Gon, seems simply the way George Lucas envisioned him to be.... and gave me something I never knew I wanted... to know Qui-Gon MORE.Please please please... if at all possible... write more books about the Jedi...I believe that the Force wills it.  ☺️

    A Great Addition to the New Star Wars Canon!

Claudia Gray’s “Master and Apprentice” begins with the troubled apprenticeship between Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Obi-Wan struggles to adapt to Qui-Gon’s unique interpretation of Jedi rules and his unorthodox approach to problems. Qui-Gon can see the bright future his apprentice will have, but doesn’t feel that he’s the best teacher. When the Jedi Council offers Qui-Gon a position on the council, the possibility that Qui-Gon will transfer Obi-Wan to another master for training so he may accept the offer further strains their partnership. Before Qui-Gon can make a decision, however, the two must travel to Pijal, where the reclusive government is about to undergo sweeping changes as the Czerka Corporation opens a hyperspace corridor nearby. Since the princess is only 14, the Jedi Rael Averross has been acting as the regent due to his neutrality for the last eight years following the tragic death of his padawan. Recent terrorist attacks threaten the forthcoming change from an absolute to constitutional monarchy as well as the construction of infrastructure for the hyperspace corridor, so the Pijali government requests an investigation by the Jedi. Averross apprenticed with Count Dooku prior to Qui-Gon and personally vouches for him to lead the investigation.In exploring Qui-Gon’s unorthodox methods, Gray focuses on his fascination with Jedi prophecy. The discovery of a fool’s gold type of kyber crystal evokes one of these prophecies: “When the kyber that is not kyber shines forth, the time of prophecy will be at hand” (pg. 117). Other prophecies run through the novel, such as “she who was born to darkness will give birth to darkness” (pg. 229), possibly a reference to Leia and Ben Solo, as well as “he who learns to conquer death will through his greatest student live again” (pg. 288), which may refer to Emperor Palpatine’s forthcoming return in “Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker.” Quoting one of Qui-Gon’s aphorisms, Obi-Wan says, “People are more than their worst act” (pg. 116), contributing to the belief in redemption that runs as a throughline in the “Star Wars” saga. The story further helps to explore themes from “The Phantom Menace” as the Czerka Corporation relies on slave labor, somehow skirting the laws of the Republic and establishing Qui-Gon’s feeling that the Jedi Council, in obeying its mandate of nonintervention, has allowed evil to flourish at the margins of society (pg. 212). Qui-Gon enlists the help of Rahara Wick, a formerly enslaved person turned jewel smuggler, to help him search for the Pijali Opposition unnoticed. Both Rahara’s experience and Czerka’s attempts to codify slavery as a punishment for most crimes on Pijal (pg. 188) help to show the corruption and moral lapses in the twilight of the Republic.Previous authors have examined Obi-Wan Kenobi’s apprenticeship with Qui-Gon Jinn, in particular Dave Wolverton and Jude Watson in the “Jedi Apprentice” series, though this is the first novel in the new “Star Wars” canon to examine the period prior to “Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.” In helping to link the prequel-era stories together, Gray not only includes the references to kyber crystals and Jedi prophecy, she also includes flashbacks to Qui-Gon’s apprenticeship with Dooku and shows Obi-Wan learning to ride a veractyl, one of the creatures he rode in “Revenge of the Sith” (pg. 151), and reflecting on the Guardians of the Whills in a reference to “Rogue One” (pg. 243). The idea of a Jedi acting as planetary regent as well as the characterization of Averross recalls some of the best elements of the 1990s Bantam “Star Wars” novels, like Corran Horn. Gray previous wrote three of the best character studies in the new “Star Wars” canon – “Lost Stars,” “Bloodline,” and “Leia: Princess of Alderaan” – and this is more of the style fans expect of her. A great addition to the new “Star Wars” canon.
