Grand finale to the series.

First the good part - we have a final showdown between Sith and Imperial Knights (Jedi's are mysteriously missing from this story arc after brief show-up in volume #1). But the twist here is in the person who will bring the end to the Krayt's Sith order (or will he?).
Ania ends up a freelancer and together with her crew will start ending up in various hot spots (if ending is anything to go by) in a manner very familiar to Han.

The bad part - story is rushed to the extreme. At the moments I felt I was missing pages in edition I read. It all looks like story was cut mid-way which is truly sad. I wish Star Wars moved more in the way of the Legacy series instead of sticking to [safe] retelling of the already known stories. It would be much interesting story telling. Character of Ania Solo also proved that it is not necessary to have Force wielders to have a good Star Wars story. I hope somebody will recognize this and build on it. I wish they had time to give us more Ania's background - there were hints everywhere but main pieces are missing. This way reader feels like very important part is missing.

Art is good but, as I said above, due to the abrupt cut of the story-line, feels confusing and weird. It's like team just run out of time to complete the arc. In overall it was good.

Recommended to all fans of Star Wars and space opera in general.… (more)

Second book in the series brings forth the Mon Calamari and Quarrens, people most devastated by Darth Krayt's actions during the galactic war.

So when Ania ends up on the devastated Mon Calamari planetary shipyard ring she will come to terms that creatures from the dark are unfortunately not vanquished but flourishing in the gray areas of lawlessness.

Art is more sketchy this time but it did not ruin the experience for me.

What did cause some weird sensations is the mere speed of the story - it seems like everyone was rushing to complete the story as soon as possible and it shows.

But in any case this was rather good episode and I wholeheartedly recommend it to all Star Wars (and space opera in general) fans.… (more)
