Summary: Emotions rule
Review: This story shows the personal side of Jedi Knights, with their own hopes and dreams beyond the Jedi Code. Two Jedi knights,Tahl and Qui-gon, have recently stated their love for each other, but thier joy is short lived. Tahl is kidnapped while on a mission. Qui-Gon, the epitome of Jedi strength and clam, finds him self in an emotional turmoil. He is torn between following the strict Jedi code and saving his love. Obi-Wan, bewildered by his master's change, finds himself in the 'master' role, and he helps Qui-gon to remember the Jedi way. Qui-Gon's and Obi-Wan's emotions are in battles and a good hunt and chase. One of the cliff hangers = How will Qui-Gon handle his raging grief?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Death of Hope
Review: This Was a really good book. I really recommend you read it. It really shows the relationship between Tahl and Qui-gon. Tahl gets captured in the book before and this basically tells about their quest to find her. It's really sad but i'd have to say it was one of the best. The only thing is that Qui-Gon doesn't really care that much about Obi-Wan in this one. He's really worried what could happen to Tahl and doesn't really acknowledge his padawan. I really hope you enjoy this book because it'sreally good. Also it's sad, so get your tissues.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Exceptional
Review: This was a very good book! Nice development for Qui Gon. However, I must admit, I do enjoy Obi Wan more; and would have liked it if he had been in it more.....

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: overrated
Review: When I was reading the book I found myself nodding into sleep from the repetitiveness. It dangerously lacked the unique quality the, well, made me like star wars jedi apprentice. I liked the struggle, the plans, and most of all, the unbreakable friendship. Unfortunatly, it added romance, which dilluted the friendship into a pile of gooshy, mushy "Oh god I love her, don't let her die!" Romeo Juliet stuff that I can't stand. THen it went into the long journey where they rode on land speeders, then they slept, then they rode on land speeders, then they slept, then they rode on land speeders, then they slept, then they rode on land speeders, then they slept, then they rode on land speeders, then they slept, then they rode on land speeders, then they slept, then FINALLY something HAPPPENS (YAY!) After that they rode on land speeders, then they slept, then they rode on land speeders, then they slept, then they rode on land speeders, then they slept, then they rode on land speeders, then they slept, then they rode on land speeders, then they slept, then and FINALLY something else happens! (YAY!)Then they did something I would have never guessed, it was amazing. . . they rode on land speeders, BUT DID'T SLEEP. So know we have a few chapters about how obi-wan was feeling his master slip away and about how d@#! tired he was! Oh that's so much BETTER! GOD! I'm surprised that I even gave a single star! It just wasn't like the first 13. They were awsome. I'd give 'em a 6 if I could BUT this one was one of the WORST books I've EVER read in my entire life(which is saying something) The on;y reason I read it was because I had a little bit of hope left, like a firefly on the dark side of the moon that prayed the moon would turn again and let me gaze in marvel at the glistening sun once more. (a little poetic, eh? a red-headed friend of mine with the name of a flower taught me how to write like that) Anyhoo, if you hate my opinion, I don care, but tjis is it.

P.S. Don't steal the firefly thing, I like it and it's MINE!

Summary: Good!!
Review: Yay! Another successful addition to the Jedi Apprentice series! The character growth throughout this series has been wonderful. Beginning with an unsteady Master/Padawan relationship, then growing to trust and secureness with each other, and now I sense tension again. It just never gets boring! The ending of this one I saw coming, but now curiosity for how all of this will be 'resolved' (for lack of a better word) has got me impatiently waiting for the next installment. Granted, I ALWAYS wait impatiently for the next book ....[....]

Still the best Star Wars books on the market!
