Karen Miller’s high regard and curiosity concerning Obi-Wan Kenobi is quite charming. In her second Star Wars book, Clone Wars Gambit: Stealth, every character has a lot to shoulder in the war, even (and especially) Obi-Wan.
Ahsoka has more to consider as Anakin’s Padawan than the teachings of the Jedi Order. She cares for his well-being and has learned how to read her Master’s emotions to help herself navigate and deal with his temperament. Anakin struggles with the responsibilitie More...

“No matter how bleak things got, or how tempted they were to despair, light would prevail over darkness”
The Clone Wars rages on and Obi-Wan and Anakin continue to lead the front-line assaults against the Separatist. But information is coming in of an operation on Lanteeb. Under the nose of Chancellor Palpatine, Bail Organa and Master Yoda send Obi-Wan and Anakin to investigate.

May the Fourth be with you! It’s unfortunate that the Ahsoka Tano character (Anakin’s Padawan) was ever created, but that isn’t Miller’s fault. Luckily, Ahsoka isn’t in the novel too much. I really liked Miller’s first SW novel, Wild Space, but felt the first third of the book didn’t need to be there. It’s the same in this case: the scene on the ship sets up only part of the plot, and is longer than necessary. The rest of the story follows Anakin and Obi-Wan as they investigate a hunch by Bail O

I was very close to giving this book at 4 star review but the fact that it was a cliff hanger, made me mad and I knocked it down to 3. The relationships of Obi-wan and Anakin are portrayed really well. I enjoy reading anything about Anakin especially when we learn more deeply into his thoughts. (he still has major ex-Slave issues)
Another highlight was Bail Organa has a big role in this book and I enjoyed reading about Leia's adoptive father.

The annoyance at all the colons necessary for the title of this book pretty much sums up how I feel about the book itself: ambivalent. There's an interesting story line, some thought provoking interactions between Anakin and Obi-Wan, some good getting into each of these main characters' heads, and even some nice little turns of phrase in describing stuff that makes me think "that was pretty."

Well, this was unique. I've read cover blurbs that give away the set up of the book, but never before have I read one, as Stealth has, which gave away the entire plot. Granted, this book was just a four hundred page setup for the second book of the series, but you'd think they'd leave the reader some suspense.
Okay story and writing. Tired of the repetitious Anakin and Obi-Wan arguments. Glad to see Ahsoka growing. Hard to believe only Bail Organa sees Anakin and Padme's relationship, More...

This is fun. Karen Miller isn't my favorite Star Wars author because she tends to be a little loosey-goosey, tell-don't-show with characterization. But these two novels were good and I liked the variety of characters. I like getting Sidious and the dark characters' points of view along with the good.
I like the continuing Clone Wars discussion/critique of compassion vs. Jedi detachment, right for the individual vs. right for the whole.

I am enjoying how Miller fleshes out the character of Obi Wan. Also, how she (and other authors) flesh out Anakin's fall to the Dark Side. In this book you see the attachments and emotions that drive that fall. If you are a Star Wars dork like I am, this is a great read.

This is story from the Clone Wars...Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi end up going undercover on the planet of Lanteeb in order to investigate a possible bioweapon. I enjoyed reading more about the character make-up of both of these characters. Plus the book reflects how powerful the Jedis were during this time period.

I love star wars books and this was no exception! The relationship between Anakin and Obi-Wan is always fun to follow.

Keeping with all the other Clone War novels by Traviss and Miller, this one is as boring and uninteresting as its predecessors.
The only thing that can be said for these books is that they detail, boringly and with excruciating painfulness, the descent of Anakin to Darth Vader. However, Revenge of the Sith, by Matthew Stover, does that excellently, with emotion and heartbreak, really making this line of novels unnecessary and showing them for just what they are- capitalizations upon the su More...

This book was entertaining, with a cliffhanger to boot, but I won't be able to remember which plot belongs with which book of this series in a few days!

Way to many slow points, in which people constantly talk about how there are no slow points in the war.

Pretty good characterization of Obi-wan and Anakin. The story ends on a cliffhanger.

Ugh...I know it's mostly my fault that this took so long to read, because really there's not enough substance to it to make it last this long normally. The plot is simplistic and I'm so tired of the Jedis debating their place in politics.

It started out really well then ended in a cliff hanger. I'm not a big fan of books that are cliff hangers, especially if I don't know they are going to be.
