I love these books for highlighting just how terrible and useless Qui-Gon is as a master. Obi-Wan’s aged three years since the start of the series and how he’s 16. He’s still always hungry (let the kid eat, Qui-Gon!), but now he’s more confident, less clumsy, and generally shaping up into a fine young man. Rather than giving him any praise or attention or instruction or anything else Qui-Gon should be doing, he off and Jedi marries Tahl. For a celibate monastic order, there sure is a lot of hanky panky happening with the Jedi. Prepare to be replaced, Obi-Wan, because Qui-Gon never really gave a damn about you in the first place. Sorry, kid! I started it, read one chapter and then got distracted by everything under the sun. It took me almost a week to finally force a hour or two to sit down and finish it. I was very happy with this installment. Another cliffhanger and another cameo by Tahl. Can I just say I hoped for certain events that took place in this book, but I never saw them coming! A must read. Now I must go on to read the next book! Star Wars Jedi Apprentice: The Ties That Bind, by Jude Watson is a great hi-lo reader, especially for the high school boy. This is number 14 in the series and it does not disappoint. It is packed with action and suspense. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan train on a mission and are called back to their home. Upon their return, they are greeted with trouble and immediately fall into action. With the threat of political unrest, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan forge forward to find their assassinated leader’s kidnapped daughters. There are many battles between the good and evil forces and the end is a continuation cliffhanger leaving hi-lo readers wanting and waiting for more fromWatson. no reviews | add a review

Honestly, the plot is nothing extra-ordinary, it feels a lot like a repeat of the same old but I guess that's because it is the fourteenth book in a series that follow the same plot structure in every book. But what I'm truly here for is the characters, and Watson captures them well. It is not just interesting to read more about Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan's relation; we see too little of it in the primary work. There's also young Obi-Wan that is exciting to read about, but Qui-Gon stands out for me; especially in this one. I might be a little in love. ( )
