Summary: Another Awesome Book written by the great Jude Watson!
Review: "The Death of Hope" picks up right where #14 left off. Qui-Gon Jinn, a Jedi Knight, is enraged when his true love -- fellow Jedi Knight, Tahl -- is kidnapped. Qui-Gon has forbidden himself to tell his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, about his feelings for Tahl. Qui-Gon takes immediate action to try and rescue Tahl, before it is too late. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan have an almost impossible journey trying to track Balog, Tahl's kidnapper -- even with the help of a probe droid. During one of their battles, one of the twins from #14 reveals that she has been following the Jedi and tells them that her other twin was in league with Balog's kind the whole time. To make matters worse, Obi-Wan's leg gets smashed underneath a boulder. The Jedi find friends, who are miners, and they take the Jedi back to give them med help. But Obi-Wan's injury is slowing Qui-Gon down. He can't wait to long, because if he does, he may never see Tahl again. And to their disadvantage, the miners' quarry is under attack by the worst kind of enemies -- the ones that show no mercy. Will Obi-Wan recover from his injury? Will the Jedi and their friends escape the miners' enemy? But the most tantalizing question of all is: Will Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan reach Tahl in time?

Summary: Incredible Emotion
Review: Be careful which reviews you read -- it's incredibly difficult not to give away the ending of this book. At the end of the last book, I was standing in the kitchen, jumping up and down for joy. Qui-Gon and Tahl...The end of this book is just as emotional, but I can't tell you which way the emotion goes, of course. (If you WANT to spoil the book, read all the reviews you can. I'm sure one of them will give it away.) This book adds another layer of depth to Qui-Gon's character, just as all the other major events have. This book is excellent, and even if you have to start from book one, I recommend this series very highly.

Summary: The Death Of Hope
Review: Danger has struck, and nothing is the same anymore. Tahl has been captured by evil forces, and Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan must embark to save her in time amidst the troubles of New Apsolon. Ewane's daughter, Eritha, joins them in their quest to stop the evil Balog from domination -- and the mission is more difficult than it seemed. Along the way, Qui-Gon continues to experience haunting visions of a dying Tahl. He fears her death, and becomes more determined than ever to save the Jedi Knight. As the danger grows, Obi-Wan is beginning to sense a new side in his Master. Will he and Qui-Gon prevail in the search -- and stop Balog in time? Jedi Apprentice #15: The Death Of Hope was a powerful addition to the series. Although it is very sad, this one is my favorite one in the series along with The Uncertain Path. I'm sad to see the series ending soon, and the books have gotten better and better.

Summary: emotions...
Review: i am currently reading the book and so far it's okay. i hope Jude has more interesting things happen to ob1-wan. i think it's time that Obi-wan got a "girlfriend". i agree with some of the other readers reviews. Oui Gon just dosen't seem to care about obi-wan that much. what's up with that?! Obi-wan and Qui gon should have more of a father/son relationship. this book is okay, but i think Jude can do better.

Summary: Ok, but not great
Review: I liked this book, but I hated how in the whole thing, all Qui Gon worries about is Tahl- even when Obi Wan's leg gets smashed under a boulder. And in this book, Obi Wan seems to be doing everything wrong. It starts out with Obi Wan and Qui Gon going to get a probe droid to track Balog and there are tons of battles. It's kinda boring. It's also another cliffhanger. Can't wait until the next book!

Summary: Too Much Qui Gon
Review: I realize that he is heart broken and all that, but come on! Maybe it is realistic, but it isn't entertaining. Not enough Obi Wan, and when there was, he was out of character. I'm anxiously awaiting the next book. If it continues as this, I will resort to fan fic.

Summary: I like it, i love it
Review: I really enjoyed the book one of the best! I love how Obi-Wan had to be the jedi "Master" though most of it.It showed that Qui-Gon is not perfect and that he needs Obi-Wan. The ending was sad. I don't think that Qui-Gon was so bad to Obi-Wan he did worry about his padawan. I think it would have be better for Qui to tell Obi about his feelings for tahl it would have helped obi understand why Qui was acting the way he did. I think its sweet that they both loved tahl(in different ways).I feel sorry for Bant How is she going to feel? She hardly knows the real Tahl.I really hoped that we could have seen Tahl on the cover so that we know what see looks like.

Summary: Excellent
Review: In spite of the obvious unhappy nature of the plot of this book, it still manages to live up to it's predeccesers as far as plot development and scene description go, and I would say that it even surpasses many of them as far as character development goes. I won't give away the whole book, but basically this book begins almost immediately after Qui-Gon discovered that Tahl had been kidnapped. He and Obi-Wan immediately chase after her captors, their urgency intensified once they realize that the longer they take, the more of a potentially lethal paralyzing drug Balog (Tahl's captor) will pump into her body... Anyway, all else I'll say is that things are NOT what they seem! I noticed some people were irritated that this book focused mostly on Qui-Gon while Obi-Wan faded to the backround. I wonder why this is, since this series has ALWAYS (unlike Young/Junior Jedi Knights and other kiddy Star Wars books) focused almost equally on Obi-Wan (the child) and Qui-Gon (the adult) I always found that to be one of the better aspects of this series, since it provides a wider range of view for the story, and greater oppurtunity for
character development. However, if my fellow Obi-Wan fans would look hard enough, they would see that in fact this book holds more character development for Obi-Wan then ever before. Sure, he gets his leg mashed under a boulder, and messes up a few other times, but where do you think Qui-Gon would have been without Obi-Wan to take up his slack, and take charge of things, and be the master when Qui-Gon's determination to save his beloved gave way to panic? To me, this shows how far he has truly come. Anyway, as to the death of ____, I was quite devestated, but I was also prepared, since she wasn't present in Episode 1, I
could only assume that by then they had broken up (not likely) or ____ had died. Even so, I liked this new twist in the story, and the portrayal of Qui-Gon as a man in love, so I will certainly miss her, being that she was one of my favorite characters. Anyway, I recommend this book to fans of Star Wars in general, particulerly those twelve and under, thought don't get me wrong, those of us who are older (I'm almost sixteen) can love them too! May the Force be with you!
