‘The Shattered Peace’ is the tenth novel in the Jedi Apprentice series. It begins with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan off on a mission to two new planets: Rutan and Senali, whose royal families trade their first-born children in an attempt to better understand each other in the aftermath of a massive war. It was nice to see the Jedi be the mediators they’re meant to be, rather than fighting a war.
This was a good book showing all the learning Obi-Wan is getting from Qui-Gon. Since his debacle with Melida/Daan, he’s more aware of the fact that he doesn’t know everything and he doesn’t want to rush into anything without more facts. However, I wish there had been more interaction between the two. Often it felt like they were outside observers, watching things take its course.
‘The Shattered Peace’ was the weakest of the series so far but it wasn’t without its merits. It just felt that everything happened faster than it needed to. If the book could have had another couple chapters then perhaps it could have fleshed out the characters and the situation on Rutan and Senali better.
But now on to the first Special Edition, which is slightly thicker than these have been and I can’t wait to see what it holds!!
