The Captive Temple (Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice, Book 7)

Summary: Tell the book by it's cover!!!
Review: Well, after the stunning events of The Uncertain Path, I really wondered what was going to happen next. I liked Cerasi, but I couldn't understand how his affection for her and his other new friends could make him abandon his commitment to the Jedi, and to Qui-Gon. (crush if you ask me) But I was completly shocked when they simply killed her off in the last book. Anyway, this book starts right after Qui-Gon receives a message from the Jedi temple that the turmoil has reached it's height and an attempt has been made on Yoda's life. Qui-Gon must put aside whatever problems he has with Obi-Wan and return to the temple. As soon as they get there, Obi-Wan appeals to the Jedi council to take him back, though he knows Qui-Gon never will, and they completly humiliate him. He is reunited with some of his old friends, and is soon drawn into a fast-paced mystery that tells of self discovery, and inner forgiveness. Tahl makes an awesome appearance, and I have grown to like her a lot, and I hope she overcomes her handicap and comes back some time in the future. I would definitely recommend this series to any fan of Star Wars. Though they are geared towards the twelve and under age range, I think any true Star Wars fan would like them, as long as they take this into consideration. They are much better than I personally thought they would be, on an equal par with Junior Jedi Knights, and perhaps even Young Jedi Knights in some ways. They are deep and heartfelt, and teach many lessons that are sadly lacking in much of today's literature for children.
