Summary: Star Wars?
Review: The story itself was tolereable if you could get past the bore of an opening long enough to realize this was a Star Wars Novel. One word for Barbara Hambly: WIT. Star Wars characters are witty. That's part of their appeal. One more thing, we should have dropped Callista off in Darksaber.

Summary: A lackluster book written by an author out of her element
Review: I'd like to start by saying that I've read more than 25 of the Star Wars novels. This is one of the worst. Barbara Hambly is clearly not an SF writer. I found this book to be boring and downright annoying at times.As an example, she just keeps making up words. Now I realize that in order to write about other planets one must give names to the objects being described. That's all well and good. The problem is that she tends to go on for PAGES, just making up words as she goes along. Parts of this book read like a Dr Seuss book! Had it not been a Star Wars novel, I'd have thrown it into the fire. In essence, read it if you're a big Star Wars fan. If you're not, or are looking for a good intro to the Star Wars universe of novels, start elsewhere.

Summary: A good way to end a series.
Review: Hambley was the first Writer to give Luke a TRUE love. Only one other author did gave him a love (I have read to many Star Wars and have forgotten which) although she died in a confrontation with another jedi. The story was a little dragged out but the tying in of other Star Wars was done well. She tied Legius in with Daala who had mentioned also a lost love in Kevin Anderson's Jedi Academy series (also a great series.) Very imaginative creatures and unprecedented story line. Never before has Leia truly used the force. Threepio and artoo's story line got slightly tedious and boring at times but not unbearable.

Summary: Poor writing style and uneven pacing ruins this one
Review: I have read most of the Star Wars books out there. Usually I'm thoroughly engrossed within the first 50 pages. However, in this case, I was not. I found that the author tends to just skip over transitions from one place to another. One paragraph the characters are in a ship, and the next moment they are somewhere completely different, and the reader has to reverse and scan because characters aren't where they were assumed to be. In addition, many of the most fascinating aspects of the story are left murkily unexplained and poorly described. I felt like reading this one was more of a chore than enjoyable. Apparently this author likes to ensure that the reader is willing to re-read paragraphs to keep up. Not much fun.

Summary: Star Wars @ it's best
Review: This is a great book. Hambly is an exelent auther and does the characters exteremly well. Her books are not all action. There is acually a story line with them un-like some Star Wars. She knows how to weave a perfect story. The Death Seed plauge was a great idea. In most books you can tell exactly what is going to happen and when but her books are unpredictable. Planet of Twilight was great!

Summary: Whoah. Cool. Wow.
Review: The book "Planet of Twilight" is one of the best books in the Star Wars series (At least that's what I think...). In her own wonderful style Barbara Hambly manages once again to create a very deep and involved, if somewhat hard to understand, story involving all of the characters in the hit movies. One thing I especially like about this book is that it deeply involves the entire Star Wars universe; it's not just an action story that simply happens to take place in the Star Wars universe like so many others. The technology, the worlds, and the chracters of the universe of Star Wars are all almost exactly as they were in the movies. This is a very hard task to accomplish. There are some problems with this book, however. Hambly's writing is sometimes unclear about some of the key details. I found myself skipping back a ways to try and figure out what the heck she was talking about. Also, if you don't know anything about Star Wars, don't even ATTEMPT this book. You would be lost like THAT. Watch the movies first and, just for good measure, read a few books that take place before this one. All in all, "Planet of Twilight is a wonderful book and is sure to please almost anyone, especially people who are into Star Wars. What the heck are you waiting for?! Go get it!!!!

Summary: ZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!
Review: I read all the currently released star wars novels and most are pretty good.I understand the dificulty of writting in someone else's "universe" but this book was incredibly BORING I only read and bought it because I collect all the books (garbage included) No good characters, confusing story, and bad writing. Note: Hambly's other book "Children of the Jedi" was Horrible for the same reasons. rated at (3) no other star wars books are below an 8 rating.

Summary: Still not up to the standard of the star wars universe
Review: Looking at the reaction of most readers it would seem that i must be an oddball. This book just as "Chidren of the Jedi" is boring, lacking excitement and never get the pulse going. As with "Children" i struggled all the way through this book. The chapters are way too long just as the previous novel was, at 20 to 30 pages a chapter this is not a pick up and put down book, it is a journey that never seems to end. I wish everybody could be a Kevin Anderson or Steve Perry and such like, but it seems that it is not just possible.
