Dark Apprentice (Star Wars: The Jedi Academy Trilogy, Vol. 2)

Summary: May the force be with you, cause this book has plenty of it
Review: Anderson delivers a one-two puch with this great action thriller and good story. The only real problem that I have is Qwi and Wedge. True, they may have been a good couple, but if I were Wedge I'd get really annoyed with that high voice of hers. Iella Wissiri is a way better match, if you don't believe me, just keep on reading the books and see what happens. Kyp is an awesome character, and even though he gets tempted and falls to the dark side, he becomes a great jedi knight. (Sorry if I gave away a bit of the book) In fact, when I get older, I think I'm gonna write a couple of Star Wars books myself with Kyp as a large character. This book is a great read, and it's a load of fun.

Summary: Great...MUCH better than the first
Review: Lets face it... Jedi search was one of the most horrible books ever made. Therefor...I was recluctant at first and really didn't want to read this book at all. Man, was I wrong. This book is great. I liked the new characters(kyp's my favorite) and the action from the academy to the awsome cliff hanger at the end. My only draw back is that Gantoris's characheter was developed so much. You can tell that KJA took alot of time thinking about him. THe bad thing is is that he neglects the development of others to do this. All and all, though, a great read.

Summary: Contrived plot and lack of imagination.
Review: The plot of this novel is contrived. There are a few moderate surprises, but overall, the story is quite conventional. It would seem, also, that imagination ceases outsie of the mind of George Lucas. Can we really expect everything to be "as angry as a wampa ice creature on fire" and "slow as a bantha?" Can we really expect people to ride around on rancors and tauntauns? Can the authors of these cheesy novels not create any substantially new creatures? The creation of new characters in the novels is noteworthy; however, even here, it would seem strange that the very leaders of a struggling new republic would be sent into dangerous situations every time you turn around -- is there no one else in the universe who can "save the republic" but han solo and leia?

Summary: Continues the great story of the first book.
Review: This book is even more exciting than the first one in the series was. Luke starts the actual training of his students and meets some problems. Admiral Daala comes out of the Maw installation and causes damage to the New Republic. The Sun Crusher is also introduced and is very exciting to read about in action. Just a great book.

Summary: Beautiful
Review: This book was wonderful. the story was really intreasting. I also liked how the students think they know everything and even more than the teacher. I saw this in Kyp

Rating:
Summary: ANOTHER ANDERSON GREAT!
Review: Anderson has a remarkable way of bringing the the power of the Force to us. In this masterpiece he brings an evil dark lord back from the grave to take control of the newly founded Jedi Academy and uses Luke's own pupils to strike down thier Jedi Master.

Rating:
Summary: An excellent work by a brilliant author
Review: This book is the best bridge from the first (Jedi Search) and the third (Champions of the Force). Kevin Anderson is a wonderful writer who follows the Universe of Star Wars beautifully and without contridiction. The characters, Kyp, Luke, Daala, and many more make the story come alive. Definately recommended with the other two books.

Summary: A new Jedi Academy?! Get a grip and get this book NOW!
Review: When I learned that Kyp had a lot of Jedi potential, hey, I was happy for him. He deserved it, and after a life of mining spice for ten damn years, well, who wouldn't? But I started to get a little concerned when that idiot Exar Kun twisted Kyp's mind. Hey, the kid didn't know any better, did he? Man, I was angry. But I knew that's what he would want so I just cursed under my breath and kept on reading. I always wondered what Kyp looked like, though. They give him a well fitting descripton in the books, but I wish that he had his own story and elaborate on where he came from.
