rkking 's review for:
Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void
by Tim Lebbon
Not a big fan of how this book went. I learned, after the fact, that this was basically the final expanded universe Star Wars novel published before Disney chose to erase all the existing continuity, so maybe that has something to do with it.
There are a lot of inconsistencies here. It's a neat idea to read about the origins of the Jedi (or Je'daii this far back in time) and see them even pre-lightsabers with metal swords and such. But why the particular solar system origins, and why make it that Humans, Twileks, Wookies and Nogrhi be the first interacted species?
It had the makings of something good, being about the pursuit of the hypergate and therefore eventual intergalactic travel, but it also just didn't mesh either.
Also didn't help that half the book was actually previews of other SW books. I guess the book itself is still a good length, but finding yourself finished at only 60something% was a put off.
