Summary: Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Adi Gallia and Siri - a perfect book!
Review: The Fight for Truth is the best book in the Jedi Apprentice series so far - I loved it. It's much better than #8, The Day of Reckoning:

Siri, 11 (who was mentioned in The Captive Temple two books back), has become Adi Gallia's apprentice. In The Fight for Truth, she and Adi are sent with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan on a mission to the world of Kegan to test a Force-sensitive child - and she won't stop reminding Obi-Wan of his humiliating incident on Melida/Daan when he left Qui-Gon. To make matters worse, Siri fights only for herself, not Obi-Wan, when they are supposed to be fighting together.

Obi-Wan and Siri are separated from their masters not long after they arrive on Kegan, and because no one has landed on the planet for 30 years, the residents don't believe them when they say they're visitors. They are placed in the Learning Circle, a strict school where the information taught to students isn't even correct. When Obi-Wan and Siri tell the truth about it, they're given punishment marks, and made to clean the school kitchen.

During this time, O-Vieve, one of the two Benevolent Guides on Kegan, has a vision: darkness will come from the Jedi themselves (guess who? Anakin!), and therefore she refuses to let Qui-Gon and Adi stay any longer, fearing for the safety of Kegan. Qui-Gon and Adi must leave without their apprentices, and they are not allowed to take the Force-sensitive child with them to the Temple. But by now, Obi-Wan and Siri are in the Re-Learning Circle, a place much worse than the original Learning Circle, a place where Qui-Gon and Adi can't find them.

Be sure to read or buy this book - you don't want to miss it.

Summary: The Fight for truth
Review: This book was short and good.Obi-wan and Siri worked to save O-lani. They should've made the last chapter more interesting but it was great.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: slow but insightful
Review: Nine was not exactly the most exciting of the series but it was still enjoyable and very insightful. We (the readers) are given more information about the Jedi Order and the working Master/Padawan relationship. But to me, Ms. Watson skipped too much time in between this book and the last one. I prefer a tighter link as demonstrated in previous novels. I feel cheated out of a whole other novel when she does that. But maybe I'm still ticked off about JA8. I will miss Xanatos. He was too cool to come to that sort of end in the series and he always made for interesting reading.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hmmmm...interesting...
Review: As my title says, I find this book interesting. It doesn't put Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon together like in most others. I for one prefer when Obi-Wan and his Master spend time together. Siri and Adi were a nice addition too. As for the whole book, well, what results in it? Do you think Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon's bond grew stronger? I don't, not really. Ok, so Qui-Gon has a vision of Obi-Wan living alone on a desolate planet. We all know what planet that is. That part was cool, but I was a bit dissapointed with the fight scene. It was just too short for my liking. One more thing before I end this...Who were the bad guys? What's a story without bad guys? The people in here were too good to be bad.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Again...too short.
Review: *sigh* I'd like to add my voice to the chorus that wants these books longer! The ending chapter was forced to wrap up a little too neatly.

But other than that, another excellent addition to the series. I enjoyed the themes presented, as well as the OCs, Siri, Davi, and even the teachers *grin*.

I, too, would like more master/padawan interaction, but I'll (*grimly*) take what I can get.

Personally, I don't feel the loss of Xani all that much; after all, he's pretty much become established as the villian du jour in fanfic *smile*.

Another excellent story, Jude. Thank you!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO ALL STAR WARS FANS EVERYWHERE!
Review: Number 9, while not as good as number 8, is still a very good book and should be read by any self-respecting Star Wars fan. The conflicts between the two Master/Padawan teams seem quite natural. However, I wished that Watson described the period between books 8 and 9 in greater depth. All in all it was a very enjoyable book to read and again, I recommend to Star War fans everywhere.

P.S. I am 16 years old so basically anyone, child or adult, should read this book regardless of the age range.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent story!
Review: This episode in the Jedi Apprentice series has begun the story of where Obi-Wan will head later in life. It is very well written and kept my attention cover to cover. I can reccomend this book with all the previous stories in the Jedi Apprentice series!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finaly
Review: I have been waiting for Jedi Apprentice #9 for a very long time, and I have to say that this book dosent disapoint. My only complant is that it was to short. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wans realationship felt much more warmer, like a master, padawan realationship should. Though I still wish that Qui-Gon would tell Obi-Wan about some of his thoughts, or maybe some of his VISHIONS! Though the ending was a littal frustrating the book was still a masterpeice and I would give it 10000 stars if I could. Jedi Apprentice #9 had action that almost through me off my seat, and in some parts it was so funny it almost did the same. All the books are so butifuly worded you must read all of them. Please do not pass these butiful books up, if you do you are really missing out.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not as good as the preceeding ones
Review: This comment is one from an older reader. I am getting bored of having nice plots being solved in a matter of three lines. Each book finishes the same way, they say the truth to the people, and everything is fine ever after. Of course, I should not complain as I am well above the age recommended. However I think that lot of readers are like me more interested by the master / padawan interaction, and that is why I am so frustrated. It was good to see our heroes sharing their missions with other jedis, but I wish Jude Watson wrote more about the time Obi Wan and his master have spent together visiting other worlds and making stonger their relation. I think it would be really interesting to find out how they grew up closer...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutly Thrilling Series! PLEASE DON"T STOP WATSON !
Review: As the other eight books this one was also facinating to read and a real enjoyment. As a die-hard Star Wars fan I love this series because of my addiction to Obi Wan Kenobi {since EP-1} and the love of the Jedi. I admire Qui-Gon too and love reading endless amounts of information on there Master-Padawon relationship. My only worry is the series will end!There have been nine books and Obi is still 14! KEEP 'EM COMING!
