I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Obi-Wan Kenobi is my favorite jedi. Ever since I was a young kid watching the movies, I've been enamored with this shining example of what a Jedi Knight is supposed to be. In Padawan, Kiersten White faithfully captures the struggle of the young jedi-to-be as he tries to find balance in his place within the Jedi Order and the galaxy at large. When Qui-Gon doesn't show up the morning they're supposed to leave for a mission together, Obi decides to strike out on his own, determined to solve the mystery of a long lost planet. Once there, he discovers that much like himself, the whole planet has been thrown out of balance. In his quest to help restore the planet, Obi also rediscovers his connection to the Force, and reaffirms his drive to become a Jedi Knight.
Kiersten White is the New York Times bestselling, Bram Stoker Award-winning, and critically acclaimed author of many books, including the And I Darken trilogy, the Slayer series, the Camelot Rising trilogy, and her upcoming adult debut, Hide. Her books have been published in over twenty territories, and her novel The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein is currently in development with Sony Pictures Television.
Kiersten lives with her family in San Diego, where she can regularly be found pressing her hands against the glass of her back door, furtively whispering I love you to her deeply ambivalent tortoise, Kimberly.
