Summary: Awesome Book!
Review: Any Star Wars fan out there must read this book. The Solo children are some of the best Star Wars characters ever and they are really good in this book too. This was sooo exciting; I couldn't put it down. Jacen, Jaina, Lowbacca, Tenel Ka, and Luke are really cool. Nobody went out of character, and this book was never boring. The plot was very original. A MUST-read for any fan. Do yourself a favour. READ THIS BOOK!!! Also, read the other Young Jedi Knights books too, because they're awesome!

Summary: The one that started me
Review: I didn't actually watch Star Wars untill thrid grade. My parents had tried to show it to me when I was younger, but I just didn't get it. Then I saw them in third grade and I liked it a lot. That year we went on a vacation, so my mom bought this one for me to read on the airplane. I tried to get into it a couple of times, but I never got very far. I just couldn't understand it. I really tried though, and after those first two or three pages I fell in love with it. Now, of course, I understand it perfectly, I just didn't know enough about Star Wars then to get it. I never would have really gotten in to Star Wars (well I don't actually know that, but) if I hadn't read it. I couldn't put it down and read it rapidly. All I talked about the rest of the trip was my book and how good it was, and when I got home I bought the next one, and so started my Star Wars craze.

Summary: An Incredible Sequal to the Young Jedi Knights Series
Review: I especially liked this Book because it really starts the Jedi/Sith relation ship and it begins the actual story because it introduces the real enemy to the Jedi: The Shadow Academy.In this book, Luke tells the Young Jedi knights that he encountered spies in his acedemy long ago, sent by the Second Imperium. Luke came across one truely talented young man by the name of Brakiss. Instead of banishing him like the others, he decided to keep him and train him. Luke made an attempt to turn him from the dark side. One day, while Luke was giving the young man lessons, Brakiss left the Jedi acedemy and fled. Luke had failed to turn him and later will encounter him in a more deadly form. The Solo twins, Jacen and Jaina, and their friends, Lowbacca and Tenal Ka, have been given permission by Lando Calarissian to come to his Gem diver station located on the Gas Giant Yavin. They all decide to go, except Tenal Ka. She imforms her friends that she thinks that the experiance would be boring and that she had seen rainbow gems on Gallinore. When the twins arrive at the Gem diver station, Lando shows them around and tells them how his company mines a very rare gem known as Corusca Gems. When Lando is done showing them how to capture the gems, an unknown fleet appears. Lando tells them that nothing could get past their heavily armored walls, but the fleet had a speacial mechanism that got through. They later relise that the ship was using Corusca Gems to cut trough. When the ship docked with the station, and Dark women walked into the station with a squad of strom troopers. Jaina, feeling a distrubance in the force, somehow knew that they were after her and her friends. The dark women stunned all the guards and captured the young jedi knights and took them to the Shadow Acendmy where they would be trained as Dark Jedi to assist the Second Imperium. I really enjoyed this book and it was a very good addition to the Young Jedi Knights series.

Summary: okay...
Review: I know Anderson is a better writer than this book, and that is taking it into consideration that this is a book for young adults, but this book was not up to his usual standards (read the first in the series, and you'll see he can write a young adult fiction well). First of all, I cannot believe that with the twins being kidnapped, Han, Leia, Chewbacca, and Lando (and remember, he is somewhat responsible) sat back and did nothing. That doesn't even fit with their character at all. I think the idea of the Shadow Academy is something Anderson should have used for his next trilogy...there was so much more that could have been done with this idea that just wasn't. I am greatly disappointed that ANderson let such a good story idea fall so flat.

Summary: SHADOW ACADEMY
Review: It is a non stop exciting book that you can't put down. I have previously read the Jedi Academy Trilogies and they are just excellent. I have read
Heirs of the Force, The Lost Ones, and Lightsabers and I fully enjoy reading them.

Summary: The legend goes on...
Review: It keeps on going and going doesn't it? First we had the original trilogy by Lucas, then the amazing trilogy of Zahn, and now we even have 15 more excellent Star Wars books. Where will it end? Certainly not here, 'cause with Shadow Academy, Kevin J. Anderson has opened the Star Wars universe again. 15 years after the destruction of the Death Star. It's interesting to learn all the new characters and to see that the Empire is still not defeated. The story never bores you and is very well written. I really hope to see more "Young Jedi Knights" in the future. May the Force be with them..

Summary: The 2nd book of an exciting series.
Review: It's the best book of the series. It tells you a lot of stuff
so that when you read the next book you know what the Shadow academy
is. My favorite part of the book was when Jacen and Jaina are in a lightsaber fight and
they didn't Know they were fighting each other. I have previously read Heirs of the Force,
Lightsabers, Darkest Knight, The Lost Ones, Shadow Academy, and I am reading Jedi Under Siege.
