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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!!!
Rating: ![2 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-2-0.gif) Summary: Pretty dull Review: This is not a Star Wars book. It might say it is, have the Star Wars names in it, but it is not. If you are after an exciting thrill fest, go buy something else
