Rating: 1 stars
Summary: DON'T READ IT
Review: Arguably the worst Star Wars book, EVER!!!! It starts. The begin is a conference, THAT NEVER ENDS. It description is excellent, but...too...long...and...boring. This book would probably be better if they shortened it a hundred pages or so. This book is a disgrace to the Star Wars Universe, and should never have been written!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I WOULD RATHER **** LEAD THAN READ THIS PATHETIC BOOK
Review: This is the worst book I have ever read, ever seen or ever heard. Quite simply Hambly watches to much Star Trek. The book gives Star Wars a bad name almost as if Star Wars was a movie made to sacrifice human souls for Satan. The only good thing it has done for me is put me to sleep.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This is the worst book ever written...
Review: I hope whoever determines whether or not a book gets the Star Wars seal of approval NEVER again lets Barbara Hambly get one. Her depiction of the Star Wars characters is weak at best. The storyline wanders around. Her writing is terrible. In short, if you are a Star Wars fan like myself, don't buy this book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Long and drawn out!
Review: This is perhaps the worst of the Star Wars books. It does have a good plot, yet it could have been shortened significantly with less detail in unnecessary delict or insignificant parts of the story line.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Revolting....waste of trees,time,money,brain cells
Review: This is quite possibly the most pathetic book of all time. Hambly seems Hell-bent on keeping Luke in anguish through tho whole eternaly long whine-fest. moving with the pace of a granite slug, the plot is as stupid as the idea of an overgrown tapeworm holding a planet hostage which is managed to slip in as well.

this book has dragged the star wars name down to the level of the sub-humanoid specieces of coruscants lowest level. do not waste your money or your time on this. Barbara Hambly should try writing drivel for the enquirerer.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boring...Boring...BORING!!!! Did I mention this book sucked!
Review: This is absolutely the worst book I have probably ever read! The characters are dim and have no distinguishing characteristics. Hambly writes her characters and stories like a crappy romance novel. The story makes no sense and the least she could have let was Luke and Callista have some sort of relationship in this book. I thoroughly enjoyed Darksaber, it at least kept me wanting to read after the first page. I picked up this book expecting Luke and Callista to encounter eachother more througout the story. The least Hambly could have done was kill off Callista. And enough with Leia always being the brave and heroic one! Give Han and Luke a chance to show that they can be brave without being wussies. All in all, not worth the money I spent. Don't bother to even read the summary. Don't read the title! Stay as far away from this book and Barbara Hambly as you possibly can!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A new SW book with what?...
Review: This was such a disappiontment! I generally don't quite like the author's books as they are rather boring. I was teribly bored!!!!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: BOOOORING!
Review: This book was sooo boring. I hated the fact that they kept calling Leia "Her Excellency"! It drove me crazy! Also, Luke's character was way messed up!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The worst SW book I have ever read, and that's saying a lot!
Review: Don't waste your money on this book. If Amazon.com gave reviewers the option to give zero stars, I would have taken it.

There are several things wrong with this book.

First, the characters do not read like the Star Wars characters we know and love. Luke is a whiny and immature boy looking for what he thinks is love without really knowing why. While reading a Timothy Zahn novel, one can easily hear the characters saying the words he writes in their heads because they SOUND like the characters. Barbara Hambly's writing is wildly out of character for most of the characters with MAYBE the sole exception of Leia. However, I do not buy for one second that Leia would actually accept ANYONE calling her "Her Excellency", except maybe as a mock-nickname from Han.

Second, the novel is poorly paced and difficult to read. Reading Star Wars books is not supposed to be reading Shakespeare. They are supposed to be fun and an escape into an exciting world of action and intrigue. Instead, Hambly writes more like James Joyce's stream of consciousness, where one is trying to figure out where a character IS from one paragraph to the next.

Third, there were so many names and poorly explained events that the novel was hard to follow. With the exception of Liegeus, I didn't care what happened to anyone, especially Callista. So who the heck was Seti Ashgard? What was his goal in undermining the New Republic?

This was the first novel in a long time, and certainly the first Star Wars novel ever, that I wanted to put down midway through just because it was so poorly written.

Rating: 1 stars
