Knight Errant

Here's the thing.

It was ok.

The main character Kerra (?) was boring to read, she was actually so boring, she'd made me switch sides and go with the Sith if I was a Jedi. She was supposed to be awesome and whatnot but she wasn't, and overall it was a chore to read half the time.

The main bad guys here as we got introduced to them in the comics, were boring as hell too, one brother who thinks he's the creator of everything and the other is the dark serious one who just wants everything to die. What a shock.

Wouldn't recommend this one sadly, because I really loved John Jackson Miller's KotOR comic series.

Before starting this novel, I had no idea that it was an adaption of a graphic novel. I thought the book came out first and then the comic. So, I have to say, read the comic first! From reading other reviews I have heard that this is very helpful and adds more to the characters and the story!

  John Jackson Miller's books seem to very plot driven and not character driven. Kerra Holt was without a doubt our main character, she's on the cover of the book and the title is about her. I still had lots of questions, how did she get to sith space? How long has she been there? Does she plan on going back to the republic? We do not really get any answers to those. Then we had other character POVs, who I did enjoy, but they were just a long for the ride. We did not get any real development with them. I would have liked to know more about the certain Sith lords in this story. 

  Characters were a three out of five stars. I enjoyed them and liked the tension that we had between Kerra and Rusher but we only really had development with Kerra and none of the others.

   The atmosphere was like most Star Wars books set in the old republic era. I thought seeing how each government on the planets ran and I really like the tundra world that we see in the last part. 

   Atmosphere is a four out of five stars.

    The writing was not anything special. The very last chapter, I do think was beautiful but the rest was just average for me.

    The writing was  average so that is a three out of five stars.

     The plot. Earlier I said that Miller's stories are more plot drive than character driven. Now that I think about it, yes, there was a plot, but it was just a lot of action taking place. There was not any dull moments but it was always go, go, go, and I think that was over done. Then the ending, I just thought it wasn't good. We did all this travel and fighting throughout the novel and then the ending was just bland. I wanted to know what happened next. Maybe I have to read the comics to find out. 

     The plot gets a three out of five stars.

Now time for the intrigue. I was intrigued. I wanted to know who characters were working for, what their motive was, would they be alright, and so on. 

Intrigue gets a four out of five stars.

  I have a lot of questions about the logic. This isn't necessarily about the book but I just felt like this taking play a thousand years before the events of the Star Wars movies, nothing has really changed with the society. The technology has not advanced much. 

  Logic is a three out of five.

    Lastly, did I enjoy Knight Errant? It was an average read for me. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I had read the comics before hand. I will read the comics at some point. I wish we would have learned more about the characters and that our plot was not always at such a fast pace. This is just one stop on my journey of reading all the Star Wars canon and legend books.
