Story
It is an age of exploration. Jedi travel the galaxy, expanding their understanding of the Force and all the worlds and beings connected by it. Meanwhile, the Republic, led by its two chancellors, works to unite worlds in an ever-growing community among near and distant stars. On the close-orbiting planets of Eiram and E’ronoh, the growing pains of a galaxy with limited resources but unlimited ambition are felt keenly. The two worlds’ hatred for each other has fueled half a decade of escalating conflict and now threatens to consume surrounding systems.

Angered by his master's abandonment, Obi-Wan sets out on the mission alone, determined to prove himself.

Publisher's Summary
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Cal Kestis leads the Stinger Mantis crew on an adventure set between Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and the highly anticipated Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
Cal Kestis has built a new life for himself with the crew of the Stinger Mantis. Together, Cal’s crew has brought down bounty hunters, defeated Inquisitors, and even evaded Darth Vader himself. More important, Merrin, Cere, Greez, and faithful droid BD-1 are the closest thing Cal has had to a family since the fall of the Jedi Order. Even as the galaxy’s future grows more uncertain by the day, with each blow struck against the Empire the Mantis crew grows more daring.
On what should be a routine mission, they meet a stormtrooper determined to chart her own course with the help of Cal and the crew. In exchange for help starting a new life, the Imperial deserter brings word of a powerful, potentially invaluable tool for their fight against the Empire. And even better, she can help them get to it. The only catch—pursuing it will bring them into the path of one of the Empire’s most dangerous servants, the Inquisitor known as the Fifth Brother.
Can the Imperial deserter truly be trusted? And while Cal and his friends have survived run-ins with the Inquisitors before, how many times can they evade the Empire before their luck runs out?
What the critics say
“Author Sam Maggs has managed to turn a tie-in novel that bridges the gap between two video games into one of the most romantic and riveting Star Wars books of all time. Jedi: Battle Scars blows every expectation out of the water for a thrilling and intimate tale of messy found family and finding your fire and purpose in the galaxy.” —Dork Side of the Force
“Maggs is a strong writer and the story is incredibly compelling.” —SlashFilm
“A perfect bridge from Fallen Order to Survivor . . . Battle Scars provides a fun and exciting new adventure for Cal & Co.” —That Hashtag Show

Story was pretty good. stumbled a bit. honestly the worst part of the audio book was some of the sound effects they used. from a screeching alarm to a ringing sound that went on far to long.

An excellent bridge between the games
I wasn't expecting much from a tie in novel but I was proven wrong. This novel have some excellent interpersonal drama, romance, fantastic action scenes and an engaging story. I listened to it all the way through in one sitting.
The narrator was especially good at capturing the characters voices. Highly recommend for fans of the series.

BAD AUDIO MIXING
I actually enjoyed the story between both games. I didn't mind the love story aspect but my biggest complaint. This is a audiobook so when you mix sounds such as chapter 6 the loud ear piercing ringing sound that continues nearly made me return the book. This is a very amateur way to mix sounds as I've been a engineer for over 20 years.
apart from that. I did like the book.

Sounds like you’re typical Marvel Movie
Story was alright but the characters Sam has made here just don’t work, Cal isn’t a Cocky, One liner Jedi knight and Cere isn’t a person that yells “TAXI!!!” When the mantis is about to leave. Both these characters have very traumatic pasts but I didn’t see much of that in this book.

Honestly a great read it just takes a while to get into it, at first you hate some characters but in the end it you end up sympathizing with them. All in all a great bridge between stories, a definitive highlight is the action scenes

So much for brevity
Meh, the story is immature, unnecessarily drawn out and focused more on a sifi love story. I was hoping it would focus on the inquisitor side. the story brushes past the premises that these friends have a warriors bond all for a girl. pretty cheesey

An enjoyable story with messy writing.
This book was a mixed bag. The writing was very childish with a lot of redundancies that persisted throughout the book, and it drastically changed the characters we loved from fallen order and put them into situations that felt like they were on a campy comedy sitcom. Cal went from being an unsure hero, scared of his past, to an annoying quip throwing protagonist that he never was in the original game; now I understand after the events of fallen order he would gain more confidence, but not to the degree of a bad spiderman level of fighter with trying to make an unfunny joke at the end of each interaction he has with a bad guy. This book is a set up for the upcoming Jedi Survivor which through the trailers have shown how Cal has changed, so the way he acts in this book is very jarring; it doesn't make me see them as the same character at all.
Another issue I have is the romantic subplot they introduced with Merrin. This is where the writing really falls off for me. The entire plot line felt very forced and out of character for Merrin. Given in current star wars canon we do not know much of how Dathomirians go with their romantic relationships, it was fair to try and explore that and give that race some story there, however, this plot line the author chose is the most by the books "I don't know if I like her or hate her" storyline out there. Merrin in the game was very cold towards people with her planet being destroyed by the separatist army, and it took her most of the game in fallen order to even slightly warm up to Cal, and that was only when she was oeft with no choice. So it just seems a little strange how the author introduces this new character, and almost immediately, she starts to "feel things she hasn't felt before." In real life, we sometimes get like this, but that isn't right when we meet a person. We usually need to spend time with that person for a few days or week, sometimes months before we get those feelings with another person. Merrin developed those feelings almost instantly which felt off to me. During the story, most of the interactions she has with the other character felt very high school romance with not much of anything making sense, and the author even tried to make Cal jealous and turned into how a jealous high-school boy woukd react if his crush started liking someone else; it felt so incredibly forced into the book and i feel taking this sub plot out would not change the story in any significant way. The author took a large chunk of the book to explain this subplot, and there was no payoff at the end. It was completely unnecessary in the way it was written.
It wasn't until roughly 1/3 into the book, about chapter 8 or 9, that I started to actually enjoy this book. For some reason, at that point. it felt that a different author had started to write the rest of the book. A lot of the constant repeating of ideas left and the story took shape in full force and started to make the characters feel more like how they should have been. I really loved the shift change in the book at that point. We got some very detailed, well written fight scenes with good dialogue, and the story had some great reveals and twists til the end of the book. I don't know why this sudden tonal change happened. but I am glad it did as the book benefited greatly from this. If the writing stayed the same as the first 1/3, I might have put this book down and not finished. While I don't know exactly how this story and the events that unfold here will tie into Jedi Survivor exactly, but you can tell that reading this book will be a nice touch to a few things that are talked about and discovered in the later chapters and that makes me excited when we can play the game on April 28th to see how the two stories connect with one another.
I did enjoy the story this book gave us, and I think it was worth putting up with the poor writing that plagued the start of this book. I didn't enjoy the treatment a the cast of the original game got, as I believe most of them got turned into very unlikable versions of themselves. I didn't mention Greez and others, but my problems with Cal and Merrin being complete opposite to their game counterparts also hold true to the others. but thankfully. not as much.
If you want to get this in anticipation for Jedi Survivor like I did, you will enjoy your time, albeit you'll also be frustrated with the writing and chatacters. If you are getting this as a star wars book to read and have no knowledge of Jedi fallen order, you should not get this book as there are much better options for you to get.
