Summary: Wasted Time....
Review: The universe of Star Wars is a great place to be, with books and movies to help take you there. This book shatters that nice universe. While BH might be a good writer of her other books (I've never read them), her writing some of the books of Star Wars is an example of how badly we need some new plots, and better writers. BH seemingly does not know how to handle more than one person in a book, this entire book is about Leia. Throughout this whole book, everone is off doing something by doing nothing. I counted only once where Luke used the force, and at times where he could have used the force to help him, he would have these little excuses to the effect of: "I can't concentrate".

There are a few good parts in "Planet of Twilight", but mostly you are waiting for them to happen. So if you are a fan of BH, buy the book and form your own oppinion of it, but if you are a fan of Star Wars, reread the Rogue Squadron series until the next Star Wars book comes out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good
Review: This a really good book. Not a whole lot of action but has a great storyline. I'm sure it seems boring to those people that don't care for anything but action and fighting scenes. Not that I'm against action and fighting scenes and battles but I also like a really good storyline too.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: pathetic is too nice a word to describe this book
Review: This is quite possibly the WORST Star Wars book ever written. I love SW and everything that has to do with it but this was horrible. The plot was generic the charachters were shallow and lame and the writing was childish. If Luke is such a great Jedi why is he constantly getting into so much trouble? If Palpatine wanted to wipe out all the Jedi why do there seem to be tons popping up all over the universe? One or two is understandable even likely but a HUTT? They are note exactly known for being quite and hiding out especially when they have something great like jedi powers? When oh when will someone who knows the SW universe write again? If you want to read good SW read Stackpole, Zahn, or any of the other X-wing series. For any true SW fan only read this book after you have read the others and only to keep the continuity going.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Yawn-O-Rama!
Review: Just about the only good thing in this book is the return of Callista. It was good to hear from her again,but she really wasn't the same character. Han Solo was off doing something else and his part in this book was otherwise secluded. I can only remember about three of the original characters ever meeting at the same time. The book went by so slowly that many times I spent hours trying to understand only one chapter. The main character was Leia and it might as well have been titled "Small Book of Leia." All of the others may as well not even been mentioned in this "book." They weren't mentioned that much anyway. Action was rare and had no background. It was every bit of a waste of my time!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Force?
Review: I would rather sh-- a double-bladed lightsaber than read this book again. BH uses sorry exuses to push the Force out of her books (ex.1 <Luke:My leg . . . oh no I can't concetrate ex. 2 <Luke: Oh no . . . the drochs, I can't concentrate.) Anyone noticing a pattern? This is the ultimate example of wishful Star Trek thinking at its worst.

Summary: This was so dull!
Review: After reading about five other SW books, I was eager to try this one...but after reading about 30 pages, I already realized that this dull book had a weak storyline, zero action, no excitement, and nothing to make you want to get other people riled up about it.

The book starts out with someone totally unfamiliar dying. Hambly introduces a bunch of characters and doesn't even explain who they are, where they came from, and what they're doing. And the drochs! Who ever thought of those? They're some creepy thing? If you want creepy, check out The Truce at Bakura! The drochs are totally un-scary. So if you're a *very* true SW fan like me, don't waste your time reading this book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What happened to Barbra Hambley's writing skills?!
Review: I really enjoyed Children of the Jedi. I found it very interesting. SO WHAT HAPPENED!? Planet of Twilight was creepy and gross. What's up with that drach thing? I would not recommend this book to anyone but die hard fans, and only then because it is still a Star Wars book. Just not a good one. If she writes any more Star Wars books, they just better not include drachs.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not much action but a terrific storyline.
Review: Very good book. Not a whole action but a super storyline. I don't see what's wrong with some of you guys.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, MS. HAMBLY
Review: Your book is pretty good, but I have a few points to bring up.First, I'm the one who thought of Space Needles - six years ago! Ithink that it's an amazing coincidence. Secondly, what is it with you and droids? In "Children of the Jedi", you have the Will, and now you have Space Needles and synthdroids. Oh, well, one good thing about that is that you develop droid character really well! Please write another Star Wars book soon!!!
