Negative Positive
Title: Mediocre at best
Review: This book seemed rushed to me. A lot of what happens is repetitious, and in fact the middle third of the book feels quite a bit like filler. You can pretty much cut out everything from when they leave the main city up until the encounter with the final tribe and not miss anything plot-wise. A lot of what happens in the plot is paint-by-numbers as well, which doesn't help.There's some pretty interesting insights into Anakin's character (if you consider acting whiny and spoiled interesting), but that's about it. IMHO, most people can and should skip this one. For a much better pre-Ep2 novel, try Rogue Planet by Greg Bear.
