Summary: A jedi student of Luke Skywalkers' turns 2 the dark side.
Review: I thought the book went into some really good details describing the setting and the plot. At times it through me off because i thought at first i thought that Gantoris was going to betray Luke but i turned out to be Kyp.
Rating:
Summary: This book was soooo good!
Review: I thought this book was excellent. Kyp Durron is such a great character and the end is so exciting you just have to read the last of the trilogy. I especially like Jacen and Jaina and Admiral Daala (who is a woman Imperial, which is great). Read this book!

Summary: I gave this a 3 star rating
Review: I thought this book was okay but it could of been better. It ended bad. I guess the story continues in the third book but I want to find out what happens and they don't have it at my library. Several parts were really stupid and some were interesting
Rating:
Summary: A very exciting book.
Review: I thought this book was one of the best books I have ever read. i think the author has a very good imagination. I also showed real talent while writing this book. If you don't like this book you wouldn't like any Star Wars books. I thought I had alot of cliff hangers. So if you don't like cliffhangers don't read this book. But I really encorage everyone else to read this book.

Summary: The Force still isn't with Kevin J. Anderson
Review: I'll admit that this was a better book than "Jedi Search," but that still doesn't save it from a one-star rating.The plot, while slightly more thought out than "Jedi Search," is still mundane and predicatable and doesn't offer anything beyond the cliches of other Star Wars novels of similar caliber. (Just how many superweapons are out there, anyway?) Anderson still does not have a foothold on the characters his stories revolve around. Luke and Han and all the rest of the regulars are portrayed so blandly you'll hardly recognize them. And Anderson's "new" characters really aren't new; they're just stock characters lifted from other stories and given new names. I guess Anderson thought we wouldn't notice. Anderson's dialouge continues to leave much to be desired. When his characters talk to one another, it's either plot exposition or quoting catch lines from the Trilogy. "I have a bad feeling about this," "Never tell me the odds," etc. I guess this kind of mindless regurgitation is what passes for creativity these days. There are Star Wars fans who will tell you that the Jedi Academy trilogy is worth reading just to learn the characters and plot elements that are referenced in other books. If such is your atttitude, I recommend skipping straight to part three of this trilogy, "Champions of the Force." Despite what some readers will tell you, you don't really have to read the first two books to understand the third. The characters and storyline are pretty straight forward and Anderson rehashes the plot often enough for you to figure out what's going on. If you aren't quite so interested in the ongoing Star Wars universe of Bantam Spectra and just want to read a decent Star Wars book, I'd like to recommend "Heir to the Empire" by Timothy Zahn. Once you've read Zahn's trilogy, Anderson's can be better seen for what it is.

Summary: The Dark Side Rules
Review: Kevin J. Anderson's second novel in the Jedi Academy Trilogy far surpasses the first book, Jedi Search. It is in Dark Apprentice where the Jedi Academy students begin their training, and where one student falls toward the dark side. Bringing about images that are reminiscent of Darth Vader, Kyp Durron, under the influence of dark Jedi Master Exar Kun, acts out with good intentions using the powers of the darkside. His inner conflict and the outer conflict between him and Luke Skywalker almost parallel one another. It is a storyline that is almost as good as the Thrawn Trilogy. It is also in Dark Apprentice that the forces of Admiral Daala hurt the New Republic by using guerilla warfare tactics. Though her character had a minor role to play in the first book, she has a major role to play in the second, and it is a welcome change. The language and characterization in Dark Apprentice is better that expected. In the first book, Jedi Search, the language was simple, and the characters were very one dimensional, but Mr. Anderson seemed to have fixed those problems in Dark Apprentice. One of the characters is Kyp Durron, a strong transitional character that has many great qualities. His naive and rugged outlook on the world, along with his dark past, helps to provoke him toward the dark side. Everyone affected by his character help to show their dimension in the book. Han comes across as a father figure, and Luke comes across as a mild mentor who bears the brunt of his anger. Just the conflict with the character of Kyp Durron alone is enough to warrant reading this book. It is worth your time.
