Your review	Almost a month later, and I still don't know what to think about this book. There are so many things wrong with it. The Jedi are still doing nothing about Darth Caedus, Jacen is still one of the stupider masterminds in galactic history, the Mandalorians are awesome at everything ever and no one else is, Tahiri's character has been utterly mangled and ruined (bring back Greg Keyes!), and Admiral Daala was never supposed to be competent. Yet, the thing about Traviss is that when you're reading the book, you still buy all of it. (Well, except for the stuff about Tahiri. Because that totally came out of nowhere, even within Legacy of the Force.) I don't know how she does it, but Traviss's characters are all utterly convincing in their every action within the novel, even if they make little sense in the wider Star Wars world, and you never stop enjoying the ride. And when she nails it, it's even better-- the Boba Fett material was great, and the high point was the Ben Skywalker stuff, even if he has finally decided Jacen is evil for the sixth time this series. In fact, Ben's characterization, as he grows up and forges a new relationship with his parent(s), has been the high point of the series overall.
