The violence of the Clone Wars has left no one untouched.
Even Representatives to the Galactic Senate have to fight
for their lives, as well as their ideals, and the Jedi themselves
are drawn ever deeper into the kinds of situations their own
teachings urge them to avoid. It is a dark time for the galaxy
and the darkness serves as camouflage for those who would
manipulate all sides in the conflict. It is a time when every
sword must be drawn for battle...
Volume
5 in this series begins with events of the Clone Wars having
steeled the resolve of some who will one day lead the galaxy
to a new order; one of the Separatists' great leaders is handed
a crushing, personal defeat; and a hero of the Republic, believed
lost, is returned. But as Master Yoda knows, even the best
blades cannot survive constant use.
While
this collection never quite reaches the heights of volume
four (Light
and Dark)
it is still a cracking edition to the series. The artwork
is great and the plot rattles on at a good pace... it's just
that there seemed to be something missing. Something which
I couldn't put my finger on. It could be that the characters
didn't seem quite so rounded, or that I didn't care as much
for the events that unfolded - although I still enjoyed it.
Those
that have been collecting this series won't be disappointed,
but it doesn't lend itself to welcoming new readers. If you
are unfamiliar with the Clone Wars series, you might like
to do a bit of background reading before you pick this up.
A
pleasing offering from the Star Wars camp.
