The witches of Dathomir, introduced in [b:The Courtship of Princess Leia|161540|Star Wars The Courtship of Princess Leia|Dave Wolverton|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51D2GQ6S6TL._SL75_.jpg|806845], are back. And they've started an evil "Shadow Academy" to train Jedi for a resurrected Emperor! And they want Jaina and Jacen to join! Hahhaha, wut? Still, lots of fun, not least because there's a good bit of Luke and some more characterization for Tenel Ka.
The second book in the series is another great read while the books are a bit short for older readers they are still fun and fast paced with lots of Jedi action, in this one even more so than the first. So if you haven't then give it a try I think you'll find you'll enjoy it too.
Brakiss, el estudiante a quien Luke Skywalker expulsó de la Academia Jedi, se ha convertido en un adepto del lado oscuro de la Fuerza. Además de haber extendido el dominio y comprensión de sus poderes Jedi, ha establecido su propio centro de aprendizaje: la Academia de la Sombra.
Y ahora se ha embarcado en un proyecto todavía más ambicioso y estremecedor. Mientras organiza una siniestra legión de Jedi Oscuros que sirvan al Imperio, se prepara también para conseguir lo que ni siquiera Darth Vader y el Emperador lograron llevar a término: raptar a los herederos de Skywalker y arrastrarlos al lado oscuro de la Fuerza.

el esfuerzo y la decisión te permitirán conseguir lo que
deseas, y que el esperar no lo hará.

Diane, que ensanchó mis horizontes. Gracias por ha-
berme obligado a ver todas las películas de monstruo-y-
héroe jamás rodadas.

me proporcionado todo un tesoro de experiencias al que
recurrir en mis libros

First words
Jacen grasped the lightsaber, feeling its comforting weight against his sweaty palms.
Last words*
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)-Con la Academia de la Sombra ahí fuera y los jóvenes Jedi Oscuros que Brakiss está adiestrando, me temo que ese momento tardará muy poco en llegar.
