Unfortunately I'm gonna have to agree with what a lot of people are saying about this book. This is very mediocre and at times incredibly boring.
Claudia Gray is by far my favorite Star Wars author for the new novels, with Lost Stars and Bloodline being my absolute favorites. She excels at character work and deepening existing characters.
Unfortunately with Into The Dark, I think it might have wanted to do too much. We have 4 to 5 different POV's, many different characters to keep track of, and also a bunch of semi-related flashbacks. It spread itself too thin.
Reath Silas, our main character, is a type of Jedi we haven't had all too often, but he doesn't get as much time as he should have gotten in this book. The other Jedi are the ones who are flashing back, and we also spent a lot of time on the pilots of The Vessel which I frankly didn't care too much about.
The Nihil also remain an enemy that I just do not care for at all.
The theme and ideas of the book are really cool. It's about attachment and mourning and what that means for a Jedi. That's super interesting! I just wish everything else would have been interesting as well.
