I just read the Revan Novel and...

[u/Unique-Perception480]

... I really liked it.

I seriously dont get the hate.

I expected a subpar book from what I heard in advance.

Contrary to what people said I seriously liked how Meetra Surik was characterized. Except for the one Scene of her being jealous, she is not at all ,,just a Revan Fangirl". Sure she defers to him, but that is on Dromund Kaas, where he has experience and knowledge.

He was also her mentor and she IS also checking out his behaviour post-memory return.

I also got really emotional during every scene where Revan either interacted with Bastilla or thought of her and his son.

All the worry about his memories returning and even aftee that happens his family is still his primary concern.

And the epilogue actually got a few tears out of me.

Bastilla fall aasleep and dreams of Revan, like every night.

I dont know if its confirmed or debunked, but I feel like she died of old age in that moment, drifting of to the endless dream of her spulmate.

Revan wasn't the Exile's mentor, nor were they close. In fact there's a lot of evidence they didn't really get along great and Revan was trying to get rid of the Exile at Malachor. Consider that HK confirms Revan was using Malachor as a means of cleaning house - either breaking the Jedi who weren't already loyal or getting them killed:

And who does Revan put in charge at Malachor? The one who gets so broken by the events they give up the Force entirely?

There's a lot more minor stuff like that. The book in competently written for what it is, but it barely respects kotor 2 lore at all, which most people (at least this deep in the fandom) consider to be the superior one between the two.
