Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A disappointing end
Review: After reading the first two books in the trilogy, I was truly expecting something better. The first book was terrible, the second was pretty good, but the third was a little disappointing. The third book failed to fully show a climax; everything just magicly solved itself. If you are going to read this book, then I must tell you to not expect much.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Incoherent and unambitious
Review: After the first two volumes I was expexcting "le grand finale" Sadly It never came. The climax resolved in an huge anticlimax where the wonderful villain vanished without taking on the entire galaxy... Expecting that all the different ties and side stories would be concluded, and summed up I disappointly found out that I have been spending reading at least 200 pages on a side story without any reference to the main story. What a disaster. I could have been in its on book...

The buildup in the first two volumes is great but it all collapses with the final book. Sadly.

Summary: The end of a wonderful trilogy
Review: I don't know why people keep moaning and groaning about this book and the BFC overall. The whole trilogy was awesome and this book was the best. The Battle of N'zoth was great, and so were the Yevetha. The Lando scenes were good too!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Good Trilogy
Review: I found it a bit difficult to get into the story at the begining, as it was a bit boring, but once I got about a quarter of the way through the first book, I couldnt stop reading. I honestly dont know why people are talking trash about these books ... I liked them. This trilogy is definitely worth reading, especially if you're a fan. They may not be as good as the original Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn, but what really is?

Anyway, the Black Fleet Crisis, and more specifically this final, climatic chapter of the trilogy, are one of the better Star Wars books I've read so far.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Lets down expectations
Review: I started the Black Fleet Crisis books interested. As the trilogy progressed, however, the book got more turgid, the characters acted less and less like their movie counterparts, and the plot got more and more ridiculous. I might have given this book two stars if the first book hadn't given me such high hopes for the series.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Best of the Trilogy, that's not saying much though
Review: The best of the Black Fleet Crisis Trilogy, Tyrant's Test takes us back to the convoluted lives of our heroes. The characterizations of Luke and Leia remain poor, Lando's mission is still annoying but there is a bright spot. Chewie's rescue of Han Solo is one of the few bright points in this trilogy. The daring and insane rescue of a battered and tortured Han Solo by his best friend is truly a memorable scene in an otherwise forgettable book. Chewie becomes much more than just a hairy sidekick, but rather he is more of a brother to Han than Luke is, as Han points out when he is brought back to a medical ship where Luke happens to have just landed. Luke and the strange woman continue to search for her people and his mother training. They finally track down this secretive people, but unknown to Luke (but known to everyone else), his traveling companion lied to him and his mother was really not a part of the secret society, yet Luke can still learn how to use their powers with only like 2 hours of training.. A slave revolt against the evil Yevetha helps to end the threat to the New Republic and Leia sits triumphant atop the backstabbing political world. The end has Luke and Leia reconciling (from a separation that was totally unnecessary) and Luke returns to his real living family. As for Lando, Luke also took time out of his busy schedule to hop halfway across the galaxy to save his old friend trapped aboard a living ship/seedpod. Sounds kind of Vongish to me. Anyway the Black Fleet Crisis Trilogy is one of the worst in the Star Wars universe. All three books filled with annoying convoluted plot and terrible depictions of the main characters. It simply the worst trilogy of the Star Wars universe, which is saying something considering how bad the Jedi Academy Trilogy is. Kube-McDowell should have spent more time writing and editing his book to be much more streamlined than the clunky and poorly written result that Star Wars fans received. Words cannot describe the awfulness of this series.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Just plain bad!
Review: The Black Fleet Crisis

The good:
Well there is not much in favor of the black fleet crisis trilogy.Maybe the conflict Luke has with the use of the force is interesting.

The bad:
Mr. Kube-McDowell should have taken more time understanding the characters. Lea is a dictator, Luke by now a Jedi master is confused and the droids act like teenagers. The overall storyline is a copy of the same theme others used.
Lost fleet an aggressive species come on be original! Finally what is this circle crap?

Conclusion:
Please Mr. Kube-McDowell don't spoil the universe!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: fitting ending to bad series
Review: The lack of a great ending fits perfectly. Nothing resolved. Not worth the read.
