Title: what have they done?
Product review: like the phantom menace movie, this is one of those star wars episodes i wish they could just take back. while many of the events that take place in the book are meaningful for the series as a whole, the writing is flawed, the delivery poor. mara suffers especially as a character (altho this is in no measure exclusive to this book), as does her relationship with luke. the storyline itself, while introducing the newest and greatest threat to the new republic, is not in itself significant except for the death of a principle character. the depiction of the Yuuzhan Vong also lacks depth. after the amazing hand of thrawn duology, this book the biggest disappointment of the written series. unfortunately, i can't recommend skipping it, for it has enough information to merit reading if you i intend to continue reading the new series.
