Otway93 (580 KP) rated Dooku: Jedi Lost (Star Wars) in Books
Dec 8, 2019
When looking up the chronology of canon Star Wars media, it usually appears as the first thing to read, but book actually takes place directly before The Clone Wars, as Ventress has just become Dooku's apprentice.
The book is actually Ventress trying to learn more about her new master from records while on a mission for him, but the bulk of the book is set in the past (in the form of a record anyway). But the mission and the tales from the records come together in the end to form one single, glorious ending!
A worthy, engrossing entry in the Star Wars canon, and truly worth a read!

Set in the 1920's, you get a front seat to all that involves--Speakeasy's, prohibition, mobsters, Germans. It's all here, and gives you an insight into what life might have been like.
Rory and Arthur make for a perfect couple! I loved Rory's sass and his spitting alley cat fight. Arthur is the big softie with an even bigger heart, who just wants to help.
With a great cast of characters, this story was gripping from the very start. The pacing is smooth, there were no plot holes I fell through, and the world building is outstanding.
With humour, sass, peril, and betrayal, this book had it all for me. Highly recommended, and when is book two coming out? Absolutely brilliant.

Brilliant follow on from avengers endgame I felt it really brought spider-man up to date very advanced. Definitely worth the watch!
Young Peter Parker finally gets a summer off traveling with school, and with MJ the girl he has a crush on, but ofcourse for any super hero his work isn't too far behind as the four elements come to attack Venice right where they are, spider man meets mysterio a new hero and they join forces to try and stop whatever it is that keeps coming to cause harm to earth. Not going to ruin the story line but with a few twists and unexpected turns you see who is behind these attacks. Good action couldn't take my eyes off the screen!!
