Title: It is not that great.
Review: Zahn didn't put enough descriptions in the book. He never really describes the settings in the book, and while you are supposed to use your imagination while reading a book, describing the setting would have made the action scenes more interesting. I also had a problem with Luke giving Leia a lightsaber that he made for her. That is clearly not the Jedi way. She should make her own lightsaber when she is ready. Then, there is the boring dialogue. Everyone always says "Point" and "Agreed". Why?? Can't anyone say, "You have a point there" or "I agree with you"? I also have a problem with Ackbar on the New Republic Council. If he is an Admiral, why is he on a civilian council? I didn't like Zahn's choices of weird names, like "ysalamiri" or the planet "Bpfassh" (how do you pronounce those?), Lando's "Necr'ygor Omic wine" and "Fey'lya". Why so many apostrophes? All in all, the book just isn't that great.
Is the review positive or negative?
