Story
Johannes Cabal, a brilliant scientist and notorious snob, is single-mindedly obsessed in heart and soul with raising the dead. Well, perhaps not soul.... He hastily sold his years ago in order to learn the laws of necromancy. But now, tormented by a dark secret, he travels to the fiery pits of Hell to retrieve it. Satan, who is incredibly bored these days, proposes a little wager: Johannes has one year to persuade 100 people to sign over their souls, or he will be damned forever.

Story
Whether you’re a sunling or an earthling, growing up isn’t easy. Shy nine-year-old Gustafer Yellowgold has to grapple with neighborhood bullies, an over-achieving brother, and parental expectations just like kids on Earth do. He would rather lose himself in comic books and dream the day away than make deliveries for his father’s raisin-butchering business after school. Fateful events put Gustafer at his ultimate crossroad when he sees a darker opportunity to control his own destiny on the Sun.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and had trouble putting it down. I didn't really feel like there was much Strife or mystery in the book. I usually need at least one of those two to read a book highly. but my inner Video Game Nerd just enjoyed hearing all the talk about Loot and Clans and the fun of video games.

I finished it because it is a Star Wars book, but none of the story captured my emotions to allow me to connect with the characters. I completed the book without really caring what happened in the story or to the characters.
