Sigh...this book had SO MUCH potential if only it focused more on the characters. The book turned very much from interactions between characters and their implications to a military tactics textbook. It's really exhausting to read 300k words of just ships shooting at each other and military tactics in the later half of the book. If an edited book where all the battles were minimized and changed to focus on the MC to develop his character would be better. The battles should be a way to develop characters, not strictly move the plot forward. The good battles are definitely Ryloth where both the MC, Anakin and Kenobi grew as characters, Mandalore was in the same vein but worse while Genosis was just 'ok', and all the other battles afterward became more and more boring. There's a reason why the movies didn't focus on the battles all that much. You can only stomach ships shooting at each other and blowing up for so long. Especially since this is a 600k word novel...and it's only part 1. Part 2 on ff net is not doing any better. The beginning was good with possible new characters...and then more boring battles. Sigh.,,
