Bookmarker's Notes
When a fan loves a world so much that the writing feels like the author. Sometimes different tones(a la Oathbreakers instead of arrows), and sometimes a little Prachetty. (A la letter delivery part 10).
Very enjoyable, and answers that itch I'd look for over multiple books of "how'd we get here"?

Summary

Summary
On one last mission with her former master before he retires, Jedi Knight Estai is sent to Naboo on an 'easy' diplomatic mission. Tragedy strikes, however, when a Sith attacks. In the end, the Trade Federation ends its blockade of Naboo, but Jedi Master Tholme has paid a terrible price, left in a coma he may never awake from.
Estai, reeling from the sudden loss of her master, brings Anakin Skywalker before the Council on her master's behalf. Desperate to keep young Anakin safe, Estai makes a decision that will change history.
Or maybe history was changed a long time ago.
