As a follow up to the consequential Vector Prime, Dark Tide does a serviceable job in showing the aftermath of the major events that preceded it. As a fan of Corran Horn, I particularly enjoyed this book and seeing how he interacted with a younger, brasher Jedi Knight. Due to the number of unrelated plot-lines, I did find the pacing to be bothersome at times, but overall enjoyed seeing the dynamics of different characters interacting in a way not previously explored.
“Can I truly discover how to integrate myself in the Force if I do not know who I am without it?" - Jacen Solo
I always loved the Dark Tide duology, it's very X-Wing esque, but that's okay. I like the Gannar/Corran team up, though it was a bit slow. Ganner has one of the best moments in all of Star Wars down the line.
I know, some people didn't like Jacen from until around Traitor, due to how uncertain he is about his life and his path, but I think it's realistic as hell. Imagine being a Jedi, and related to Luke no less. Trying to find your own path would be so difficult, especially since the old Jedi lore wasn't fully known. (Of course, since only Episode 1 was out at this point.) I've always enjoyed his journey as a character.
Then of course, I love Anakin learning to not abuse his force powers too. I wish the whole Master Mara thing had been used more, I didn't like where they took her post-NJO, but alas. Plus, the whole killing off Anakin Solo thing so he wouldn't be confused with Anakin Skywalker will never not bother me.
“On Dantooine, when Mara made me stop using the Force like a crutch, I had a
lot of time to think about things. I realized I was using the force too much.
Uncle Luke uses it like an advisor, or sometimes a power source. Others use it
like a vibroblade, some like an opinion poll, and others yet like a whole
variety of tools. I thought all about that, and I guess I chose to follow in
Uncle Luke's footsteps." -Anakin Solo

Stackpole's entry into the New Jedi Order, a good page turner. I made the mistake of reading this one before [b:Vector Prime|192214|Vector Prime (Star Wars The New Jedi Order, #1)|R.A. Salvatore|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172576355s/192214.jpg|2799032], which I do not recommend doing.
