Rating: Summary: A VERY GOOD BOOK Review: Heirs of the Force continues the adventures of Han Solo and Princess Leia Organa Solo's children to become Jedi Knights. They face many challenges along the way.
Rating: Summary: An adequate, yet slow introduction to the Young Jedi Knights Review: Heirs of the Force was an adequate, yet slow introduction to the Young Jedi Knights series. Key characters and factors in the overall arc are introduced, yet the premise on which they were presented, an Imperial TIE pilot who crashed during the second (known) battle of Yavin is somewhat spotty. The other factor which caused me to rate the book as I did was that was meant for younger readers. If only this had been an adult novel, and Kevin and Rebecca were writing to their full capacity, it had potential of being good. I don't mean to attack young adult books, but I read the Thrawn Trilogy when it debuted in 1991. I was only 8 then. I only wish, Ben were here...uh...I mean...I only wish the Young Jedi Knight novels could perhaps simply be, Jedi Knight novels, and not be geared toward younger audiences.
Rating: Summary: Gold for young readers. Review: I am fairly new to the Star Wars world, and loving every minute of it. My husband has been a fan for many years so I decided to give it a try. This is only the second Star Wars book I have read, the first being Darth Maul-Shadow Hunter. The development of the characters and story-line of this book, Heirs of the Force, are very good. I do think the authors do a great job of writing from a 14-year-old perspective. So, this would be a wonderful book for children and teens. I do not, however, recommend this book to adult readers. I read it in one evening. The biggest problem I had with this book is that Luke and Han don't seem to act in a manner that is true to their characters. One huge plus for this book, though, is that there are a few jokes in it that had me laughing out loud. I do plan to continue in the series with hopes that it will get better as the characters develop. The bottom line is if you, the adult, can handle reading a book on a very young level, read it. The story has it's good points. I would definately recommend this book for children. It reminds me of something I would have rather enjoyed when I was around the pre-teen years. Hope this review helps. It is my first, so hopefully I too will get better as my reviewing develops.
Rating: Summary: This book is GREAT!! Review: I just can't understand why everyone is shooting down this book. The book is like the jedi them selves, it will be more involved and grow as they do. All though it had some weak points, overall this is a great book
Rating: Summary: Really good Review: I liked Heirs to the Force, but not as much as the later ones in the series. I think it is neccessary to read it before you read the others. It introduces characters (like Qorl) who are encountered later in the series, but are not fully developed in any other book.
Rating: Summary: Not the Best Book in the Series Review: I liked this book, but it wasn't really that exciting tough I think Jacen, Jaina, and there friends were pretty cool. I also liked Qorl, the TIE Fighter pilot. I liked the other books better.
Rating: Summary: Great start to the series. Review: I read this book about a year ago, but I still remember it very well. Because the series (Young Jedi Knights) was all about Jacen and Jaina Solo, they were the first books to really develop their characters. Jaina is spunky and adventurous and has a real talent for mechanical stuff and for flying. Jacen's talent is communicating through the force with animals, and he keeps a collection of them in his room. In this book, when the series stars off, the twins are fourteen years old and have left their home on Coruscant to attend Luke's Jedi academy on the fourth moon of Yavin. The plot involved the two adjusting to life at the academy and making some new friends, including Tenal Ka, a warrior girl, and Lowie, a Wookie who is Chewie's nephew. Jaina's father, Han Solo, gives her a hyperdrive to toy around with, because she loves mechanical thigns so much. She finds the wreckage of a TIE fighter from the battle of Yavin when the first Death Star was destroyed. So she'll have her own ship with hyperspace capabilities, she decides to install the hyperdrive in the fighter. That's where the trouble starts. It turns out that the pilot of the ship has been hiding in the jungle for twenty years. He doesn't know that the Empire has fallen, and when he learns his ship has been repaired, he decides to steal it and return to his command. And he doesn't care if he gets the kids hurt or killed in the process. What I liked best about this book was that it was a Star Wars story in which the main characters were my age. You don't have to be a kid or teenager to enjoy the book, though. I think all Star Wars fans will find it entertaining if they don't mind the simpler writing style.
