Master & Apprentice (Star Wars) Review: Claudia Gray and Star Wars prove a winning combination Once Again - A little over three years ago, I was introduced to author Claudia Gray through her first Star Wars book Lost Stars. It was a great tale that provided new intrigue to my favorite universe in all of fiction, and became my favorite book as a result. Since then I've been reading A LOT of the new canon Star Wars novel, and while several have been really good, I've been mostly excited for Gray's novels whenever I hear them announced. So I was pretty hyped when I heard about Master and Apprentice, a book not only written by her, but was set before any other point in the current canon. Let me say personally, I was not disappointed at all. Master and Apprentice is another great story in her already impressive literary resume. The film dives into the pre Phantom Menace era and gives great insight into what shaped certain events that the actual films failed to capture. We are treated to a very well written mystery, that shakes things up and has us frequently saying to ourselves "Wait a minute..." or "Ah, that makes sense now". But for me, the most important part of any work of fiction is characterization and we get A LOT of that here. Though the novel describes itself as a trial between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan (more on that later), the real dynamic is between the former and new character Rael Aveross. Through these two, we get a lot of clarity of Jinn's past and it's one of the best aspects of the book. Nevertheless, Kenobi still has an interesting arc himself, one that does resolve in a satisfying way. There are a handful of other interesting character who I won't say any more about, but are definitely ones I would love to hear more about in future stories and comic spin-offs. Also the world Pijal that most of the book takes place on is yet another wonderful new planet in the Star Wars galaxy that the little kid in me would love to be a part of. If I had one issue with the book, however, it's not with the story itself but rather the way it was described. The novel was marketed as a story about the relationship between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan being put under pressure during a severe assignment. That is featured, don't get me wrong, but it isn't as prevalent as you would likely believe. It feels more like a sub-plot than anything else, falling under the main plot as well as the aforementioned back story between Qui-Gon and Rael Aveross. It kind of reminded me of my first new canon novel "Lords of the Sith", which was described as Darth Vader and Palpatine's attempts to quell a resistance movement, when in actuality that storyline was really only in the last third. Now having said that, what is the main focus is still fantastic. It may have overshadowed what I was expecting to be first and foremost, but I still greatly enjoyed diving into that mystery and seeing these new characters. So in my mind, that makes up for the flaws just fine, though I'm not sure how others will react. In my opinion, this is Claudia Gray's second best Star Wars novel (Lost Stars still tops the list for me), and I'll be looking forward to anything else she adds to the ever growing canon. Highly recommended! Review: Wonderful Exploration of Qui-Gon & Obi-Wan 's Relationship - I have read Claudia Gray's other Star Wars books and they have not been favorites of mine. When I first heard about this book, I had hoped John Jackson Miller would be writing, since he did such a stellar job on the legends book Kenobi. This book undoubtedly grew from the short story of the same name that was included in From A Certain Point of View, which I thought was one of the best stories in that book. I have read a number of books on the Jedi Master and Padawan relationship by author Jude Watson. Though they were designed as youth books, her Jedi Quest, Last of the Jedi and contributions to Jedi Apprentice were excellent. This is the first Claudia Gray book that I actually enjoyed for the most part. The prophecies as a theme were interesting and there were some great characters in the book, most notably Rael Avaross, the grizzled veteran Jedi. There were a number of twists and turns that were genuine surprises. I loved the exploration of differing viewpoints on between Rael, Qui-Gon and young Obi-Wan, forcing each one to grow. The surprise invitation was a surprise, as was who opposed it. One thing I wasn't pleased with was some of the conversational language. Seriously, "getting laid" was a phrase used several times throughout the book, and I felt this is not a term that would be used in the Star Wars universe. The legends books kept the illusion beautifully. I read this book using immersion reading while listening to the audiobook. The veteran Star Wars narrator Jonathan Davis beautifully handles the narration and character voices. His Qui-Gon is wonderful and his Obi-Wan is so good, you would swear it was Ewan McGregor. He was brilliant on the legends book Kenobi as well. Even his Yoda was spot on. A great canon book for Jedi lovers like me. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #48,610 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #52 in Space Operas #117 in Science Fiction Adventures #151 in TV, Movie & Game Tie-In Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (6,601) | | Dimensions | 4.18 x 1.06 x 7.46 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 1984819615 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1984819611 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Star Wars (Standalone Novels) | | Print length | 480 pages | | Publication date | September 24, 2019 | | Publisher | Random House Worlds | ## Images ![Master & Apprentice - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OHxWknIJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Claudia Gray and Star Wars prove a winning combination Once Again *by G***9 on June 26, 2019* A little over three years ago, I was introduced to author Claudia Gray through her first Star Wars book Lost Stars.

I've read/enjoyed well over a hundred books, comics, novellas, games, etc... a drop in the veritable ocean of SW media, but still more than most. While my favorite SW novels are mostly from those of the old EU, Master & Apprentice has managed to edge it's way into that exclusive list. It was that good! M&A was a bit of a perfect storm for me in that it checked my boxes of enjoyment for a SW book: 1. Prequel-era timeline 2. Featured favorite characters 3. Focused on Force lore. I know there's sizable portion of fans who say their favorite Gray book, or SW book in general, is Lost Stars, but I found that to be not much more than a SW Romeo and Juliet. M&A however is SW through-and-through IMHO. To each their own! Here we get lots of detail on prophecy, more Qui-Gon, more Dooku, more Obi-Wan... all of which I felt was overdue in this context. The story-line and new characters didn't enthrall me as much as I would've liked (another roguish Jedi...?), and there was some new tech that didn't fit into the SW universe very well to me (nanites and full body personal shields - Trek anyone? ), but that didn't matter to me as much as the other points I did like. What separates SW from general sci-fi is the Jedi and the Force, which is of course what makes it sci-fantasy, and M&A has that in abundance. If you're a SW fan who likes stories that focus more on the Force-related elements, I highly recommend getting this one, even those who aren't a big fan of the new canon. Many people will of course compare this story to the beloved Jedi Apprentice series in Legends, which was where we got most of our Qui-Gon material until recently, and I can say that Master and Apprentice does not trample on those stories, so pick them both up! ## Frequently Bought Together - Master & Apprentice (Star Wars) - Star Wars: Brotherhood - Dark Disciple: Star Wars --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ma/products/168535859-master-and-apprentice](https://www.desertcart.ma/products/168535859-master-and-apprentice) --- *Product available on Desertcart Morocco* *Store origin: MA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
