the problem with me listening to audiobooks is that i OFTEN forget to listen!!! do i know what happened? no! do i love eli vanto ! yes! did i listen to this for the sole purpose of having some background so i can read alliances! 100%!!!

EDIT 1/20/20: I do think this book definitively suffers from too broad a scope, especially in audio format. it covers too much time and attempts to bring too much together in a short amount of pages to ever be truly successful. Also audio performances make me cringe like nothing else in the world, and I wish people would STOP. on the other hand, the performer does an EXCELLENT and deliciously evil Palpatine.
