Also, I love how Traviss basically undoes the last novel. Of course Luke is still here, but it's made abundantly clear that Ben has a more loving and focused relationship with his mother, and I really wish that was in here more. So it's nice to have a mother/son relationship being more developed. Father's are the central theme in Star Wars (at least in stories involving the Skywalkers). A more positive note is the relationship between Mara and Ben. It's something that makes me angry, and a total waste of a character. One that I won't spoil, but one that understandably upset a majority of the Star Wars audience when they read, or at least found out, what happened. I have no doubt this would be something I could binge read. 15 minutes in the car on the way to work, during lunch while I eat, etc. Not really, mostly because I don't have 6 and a half spare hours to listen to audiobooks. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? What about Marc Thompson’s performance did you like?Įverything! Thompson is so great, and combined with the sound effects and music, he's really what makes these worth the audio format. Of course! I find her to be one of my favorite Star Wars writers, so I'll probably be picking up her Republic Commando series soon!
Would you be willing to try another book from Karen Traviss? Why or why not? Despite some plot points that just make me angry, this is one of the best audiobooks I've listened to. Where does Star Wars: Legacy of the Force #5: Sacrifice rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far? Jonathan Davis = Extremely good narration. Just remember, Anthony Heald = extremely poor narration. Quite a few of these are narrated by Anthony Heald and he is just plain awful. They are so butchered by the abridgements, that they are not worth your time or money.
One last thing, stay away from any of the star wars audiobooks that are less than 6 hours in length. I would give this 5 stars if not for the abridgement. The writing, sound production, and music were all top notch. The different character voices that he assumes throughout the book are executed flawlessly and I had to keep reminding myself that it was the same person speaking. Marc Thompson is one of the most talented narrators that I have heard. Other than that, this book was excellent. I won't beat around the bush, I loathe any abridgement and I would encourage people to complain to the publisher so that they will begin releasing unabridged versions of these books. That said, you can still notice gaps where, I assume, material was cut out for the abridgement. Even though it is abridged, the 6 hour run-time leaves enough material to make this audiobook entertaining. Very well done for a Star Wars audiobook. A great series! Keeps your hungry for more!
