Star Wars: Revan, by Drew Karpyshyn

Star Wars: Revan, by Drew Karpyshyn, 368 pg.

The Star Wars universe is huge, like really huge.  With way to many books in the extended universe, I keep my self fairly limited when it comes to reading into it.  My personal preference is the Old Republic time frame, mostly because anything written will have less chance of messing up the continuity of the movies.  Star Wars: Revan continues where the Knights of the Old Republic video games left off.  The games are older, and very much worth playing if you're into that kinda thing.  I would recommend playing them before reading the book, mostly because they are worthwhile and the book would definitely ruin many a crucial plot point from the game.  So play the game first, then read this blog...

If you are still reading, then I can only assume you have increased interest towards the story.  Like I said before, the book fills in many gaps from the games that were left unanswered due to developers never releasing a third game.  The book was a quick read, and very much entertaining.  If I had any complaints about it, it would be the defined continuity from the games, as the games had multiple endings and several different ways to play your character, while the book defines one outcome for Revan and the Exile, but I can understand why they did it this way.
