The only good thing in this book was the subplot about Boba Fett. Making Han and Leia enemies of the Galactic Alliance was a bad choice. They are heroes, not criminals. In this entire series, the whole Han and Wedge are defending Corelia plot does not work for me. None of the movies give us any clue that Han cares about Corelia at all, let alone killing hundreds? thousands? of Galactic Alliance members/inhabitants for the sake of an rogue planet. The character of Jacen has been growing more arrogant, stupid, and savage through the series to this point. He is better than Vader? Won't make Vader's mistake? Too late. Indeed, I'd say that by the end of this book in the series, Jacen is more evil than Palpatine. Jacen wants to bring order to the galaxy. Killing needlessly is one way to do that and it seems that this is Jacen's way. How is that different from Vader seeking to bring order by destroying the Rebellion. In Jacen's case, however, it's totally myopic. I'm going to create order my way. That makes my actions good. Then, of course, there's Lumia (sp?). Jacen would not be in this arrogant lust for power were it not for Lumia. Nowhere along in this series has Jacen given serious attention to the evil that Lumia has done. It's fine to murder a defenseless Jedi but punish Lumia? Never. Why? Jacen has bought into her whole story, including the part about killing what you love. Jacen didn't love Mara. That whole story line is Bantha fodder. This is the same kind of junk that made Fate of the Jedi, which I read first, a series I didn't like either. I don't care about any of the characters in the story. No military or police force is going to have a thirteen-year-old going on missions, let alone assasinating someone. That's ridiculous. I don't think I've read any SW story by Travis that I thought was true to the movie characters. The same goes for Troy Deming, and for similar reasons. Both also introduce alien things, like witches' rituals, to the plot line, and don't get me started on Ship.
