Title: Does nothing to salvage the previous two books...
Product review: I'll get right to it: the problem here, is that Anderson writes novels with plots worthy of comic books. Depth, complexity, introspection, dimension are all foreign to him. This would be OK, if, at least, the action scenes were interesting. Unfortunately they're not. It's not exactly a spoiler here, but the good guys win. Every engagement. Every battle. Sure, we want the Republic to win in the end, but someone ought to tell KJA that there's nothing terribly gripping about reading the Empire lose time and time again. In Zahn's trilogy he created a palpable threat. A strong bad guy. KJA does not, consequently his books lack any tension.And why does it seem to take less time to become a Jedi Knight than it does to get a mail-order Associates Degree?
