Beautiful book
It is just retellings of stories from the Clone Wars animated show, but a lovely addition to those growing their Star Wars collections. The added drawings of characters before each story are really nice too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic novelizations and I loved the all-new story!
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2020
Verified Purchase
This book is comprised of 11 short stories, each one a novelization of an episode or arc from The Clone Wars (except one, more details later).

The authors are a mix of returning writers (Jason Fry, Zoraida Cordova, Rebecca Roanhorse and others), with newcomers to the galaxy such as Preeti Chhibber, Yoon Ha Lee and others, including Dave Filoni's wife, E. Anne Convery.

Picking 11 arcs out of the entire series must have been nearly impossible, but the choices were made to highlight specific characters, Yoda, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Asajj Ventress, Maul, Dooku, etc. and they work well in general.

As novelizations themselves, they add another point of view, sometimes new information but in general all were very good.

The exception to the rule is "Bug", Convery's tale about a small outcast girl who befriends a Dathomir witch on the run after the coven's destruction, which I found fascinating.

In short, this is a very good collection of stories, if you're a fan of the characters or the TV series you definitely will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars An alternate take on episodes of the Clone Wars animated series
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2022
Verified Purchase
The Clone Wars: Stories of Light and Dark is a collection of short stories from several authors who have written Star Wars novels over the years. Each story retells at least a portion of one of the Clone Wars animated series episodes from a point of view of one of the characters (not necessarily one of the main characters) in the episode. Sometimes that is from a "good guy's" point of view and sometimes from one of the "bad guy's" point of view. So, if you have not seen the Clone Wars animated series, and plan on watching it, do not read this first as it will spoil some of the episodes, including major plot lines or events that occurred in the series.

The book is one of the novels that fall into the young adult category, but it is written well enough that adults can easily enjoy it. It does a good job fleshing out some of the story arcs and the characters and continues to bolster the quality of the Clone Wars era of canon material, which, in my opinion, made the prequels better when seen through the lens of the Clone Wars stories. It is fairly short, about 265 pages, and is a quick read. It can easily be read in a day if you have time to devote to it, or over the course of a few days. Depending, of course, on how quickly you read. It is a must for hard-core fans of the animated series, and something that is nice to read for everyone else.

4.0 out of 5 stars One new story, many retellings
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2020

The last story in the book, "Bug," was apparently not included in the advance copies, which is a shame since it is the only original story, and it's a good one. This Clone Wars anthology, intended for middle grade children, consists mostly of retellings of Star Wars: The Clone Wars episodes.

That doesn't mean there's little new here to enjoy. Most of the stories offer a new take or some new insight. In "Dark Vengeance," for example, we are treated to Maul monologuing about his favorite subject, Obi-Wan Kenobi. "Kenobi's Shadow," a retelling of "The Lawless," gives us a real glimpse at the anger - teetering toward the Dark side - Obi-Wan feels at the climactic event of that episode. It's a perfect thematic accompaniment to Maul's chapter. Other stories give readers a look at Yoda's musings on the clones, Padme's struggle to voice the war's toll on the Republic, and Ventress' search for direction after Dooku's betrayal, just to name three.

As I mentioned previously, the last story in the book, called "Bug," is original, and it's probably my favorite of the bunch. It concerns the events of the episode "Massacre," but the story is very much its own tale. If you're a fan of the Nightsisters and Dathomir, you won't want to miss it!

The audio version of this title is a great listen, as many actors from The Clone Wars series voice their respective characters' chapters.

All in all, this is a nice collection of stories for younger readers, and would be a nice introduction to the prequel era or The Clone Wars series. However, there are things to make longtime fans smile, too.

I must say that this book is unbelievably amazing. It’s not like what I expected, it’s more interesting and has more details than I thought it would have. That’s what I have experienced after finishing the book. I also want to say that the delivery was quick as well. I ordered it and got it the next day, no prime. I would say you should go for it and read it, you will definitely not regret it.
