jaceyI'm way behind with my usual booklog posts so I'm playing catch-up
Booklog 6) - read 25/2/10
Karen Traviss: The Clone Wars
I felt obliged to read this because, though the animated movie was terrible, my mate Karen wrote the novelisation and she's a bloody good writer. Her Star Wars Republic Comando books are worth anyone's time whether you're a Star Wars fan or not, because she really gets under the skin of the common soldier.
Sadly she couldn't do much about the plot of The Clone Wars' which was Not Her Fault, but she did manage to inject some characterisation into it which the movie sadly lacked. Padawan Ahsoka is lovely – which makes me wonder what happened to her when Order 66 was given to kill all the Jedi in the Republic Commando book: 'Order 66'.The Republic cvommando books are running on a parallel (almost) timeline with this.
The one real smiler moment comes at the beginning of Chapter four when in all the little quotes at the beginning of chapters Karen includes an intelligence report by Komr'k N-6, one of the minor characters in her Republic Commando books. A little wink from the author to her regular readers.
