Summary: The Call To Vengeance
Review: Tahl is gone, and Qui Gon is shattered by her loss. It is more apparent than ever that Balog be stopped. Now, determined to avenge Tahl by killing Balog, Qui-Gon has turned aside Obi-Wan and Mace Windu, who has been sent to help with the dangers on New Apsolon, to embark on the journey in destroying Balog. Even though he is supposed to capture him and not kill him, Qui-Gon is bent on killing the enemy instead. Vengeance is all that is on Qui-Gon's mind. Obi-Wan knows that his Master has changed in more ways than he knows, and that his Master has never before been faced with such a conflict. How can he save his Master from corruption -- when the knowledge of Tahl's loss hovers everywhere? Jedi Apprentice #16: The Call To Vengeance is a heartwrenching, suspense-driven conclusion to this three-part story arc of the Jedi Apprentice series, and has quickly become my favorite book in the series. From the beginning until its last riveting, powerful page, I absolutely could not put it down.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: vengence isn't always nessesary
Review: The call to vengence is a continuing to the book previous to this one in the series named "The Ties that Bind". The call to vengence is all about the main character Qui-Gon-Jin trying to find the man who had his jedi partner killed and to pay justice to him, throughout the book Qui-Gon is attempting to keep his rage for vengence in check.
If you have read the previous book "THe Ties That Bind" I strongly suggest you read the conclusion to this adventure of the two jedi to find out what happened and to enjoy The writing in this book . So If you you get a chance to read this book. I recomend it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The last book in the three-book story arc
Review: The grief-stricken Qui-Gon Jinn wants revenge on the people responsible for the murder of his loved one, Tahl. His apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi is lost as he struggles to comfort his master and at the same time concentrate on the mission they are on. When Jedi Council member Mace Windu and Bant, Tahl's apprentice, come to aide them, Obi-Wan feels that everything will get better. But he couldn't be more wrong as Qui-Gon strikes out on his own, Bant resents him for not contacting her earlier about her master Tahl, and the situation on the planet Apsolon becomes perilous. Can Qui-Gon begin using his Jedi training to control his personal feelings? And can the mystery surrounding Apsolon be solved before it's too late?

"The Call to Vengeance" is the last part of a three book story arc. The story is extremely exciting and interesting to read as the events we've been reading about in the previous two books begin to reveal themselves. I was absolutely shocked when all of the deceit and secrets were revealed! But of course I found the ending very satisfying. My only small disappointment (my reason for taking 1/2 a star, resulting for the fours stars) is how Qui-Gon's character is portrayed. I can understand all of his feelings when Tahl dies and I completely agree that he will not be acting himself. But I just can't see him as someone who will be bent on revenge. I would definitely be sure that he would want the enemies be brought to justice, but he would not resort to revenge. But I guess that that's just my opinion. I also wish there would be more of Obi-Wan. Read "The Ties That Bind" and "The Death of Hope" before this book or I assure you that you will be a bit confused because many of the events which take place closely tie in with the two previous books.

This series explains a lot about how Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan first meet. Their beginning is far from simple and all smooth-sailings, which would be pretty monotonous if it was. Though the books are said for ages 9-12, like many other reviewers I agree that the Jedi Apprentice Series are for anybody. Extremely well-written, the emotions, thoughts, and feelings of the main characters are very well put down into words. I also like the different array of humans and aliens which are portrayed, both good and bad.

Plus check out the new Jedi Quest series, dealing with the master and apprentice duo of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. Another Star Wars Series I recommend and like a lot are the Young Jedi Knights series. The stories are about Jacen and Jaina Solo (twins of Han and Leia Solo), and their friends as they journey on the road to becoming Jedi Knights. More on the teenager level of reading. For adult readings, a few selections I enjoy reading are "The Thrawn Trilogy", "Rogue Planet", "The Jedi Academy Trilogy", "The Corellian Trilogy", and "The Truce at Bakura".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW!
Review: This is deffinetaly one of the BEST yet. Jude has totaly outdone herself. The twists, turns, outcomes, and actions leave u in never ending suspence. It just doesnt stop from the moment u pick up the book to the last word you read. We cant let this series stop!!!!!! I cant wait for The Only Witness!
