So good. I picked the book up and kept reading until I finished it. Be warned, it’s that good.

It stuck to its guns, really latched onto the meat of the story that it was trying to tell, and I was hooked from the first page. My only gripe is that it takes the classical viewpoints switching of Star Wars to a new extreme, where it feels like it’s trying to tell three different stories at once.

That was amazing I don’t have words for it

I’m a Star Wars junky, it was a good easy read. Kept me enthralled, I read it in 3 days.

As compared to “Revan” the book is much slower with spurts of predictable action and no great suspense. Very surface level until the epilogue which I give 5 stars. Fantastic epilogue that ties much together and gives wonderful insight into Malgus and his motivation. Loved the Epilogue so much that’s it’s the best one I’ve read in sci fi, seriously.

This book built up to and ending about to chapters long. This left me unsatisfied and wanting to know more about what happened after. I do not expect to find out anything more as this book did not cover anything that was in the first book. Over all I think this book is a good read I do love the lore. Just a slightly unsatisfied feeling at the end!

Kemp's style of writing keeps the reader engaged and on the edge of their seat through this entire book. One of the best Star Wars books and stories I've ever read. His action scenes incredibly detailed and exciting. I can't wait to read more of his books. Well done.

Within the setting of the galaxy-spanning conflict engineered for BioWare’s massive online multiplayer game, Star Wars: The Old Republic: Deceived is a well-told and personal struggle for survival and identity. It fleshes out the characters and events surrounding the shocking video game trailer of the same name, where the Sith Empire ransacks the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. It succeeds in keeping the story grounded through holding to a limited cast of characters, all of whom are unique. The story’s Jedi is far from what one might expect. The primary Sith pictured on the cover, Darth Malgus, stands apart from the hoard of scowling villains wielding red sabers who tend to occupy and strive to conquer the galaxy. And right in the midst of the clash between dark and light is a solder/smuggler with his own complexities. Deceived, at its best, is a study in the grey area in between right and wrong. The novel stands alone without much knowledge of the Old Republic’s particular setting. A reader uninterested in playing the video game can enjoy this one. There’s little doubt that this book would serve as a good primer and companion piece to the online gaming experience, but as a story it is good nevertheless. It’s good, but far from perfect. In particular, Kemp’s writing never stands out as particularly impressive. His use of language tells the story and gets the job done. Deceived was worth the money. It’s rare for a single novel to develop its core characters as quickly as this. It’s far from the top of the list of must-read Star Wars books, but it does deserve a place on at least a similar list of books worth the reading experience.

Star Wars The Old Republic: Deceived is one of the few Star Wars novels that jumps right into the action and that captures the readers attention straight from page one. I was immediately mesmerized by the feel of the book. It's full of great new characters, most of which are recognizable from the Old Republic E3 game trailers. There are excellent battles and action sequences but there's also some great quieter moments that give the story a really great feel. I would highly recommend this book to any Star Wars fan.

Neva bought for mobile but I bought it a year ago for hardcover... Hahahaha...
