A review by rhganci
Jedi Search by Kevin J. Anderson

3.0

This book was unbelievably easy to read – I read it in a single day, in just under 24 hours. It had good character-driven plots, enough face time to keep the pace up, and some good direction. The surprise entrance of the Imperial fleet was genuinely startling, and the way the story flowed together at the end was excellent. It was definitely expository when it came to setting up the new generation of Jedi, but the group that Luke has put together at this point isn’t bad at all. The first scenes with the twins were more than memorable, though I’m still waiting for Mara to come into the picture. I’ll be surprised if we hear about the Sun Crusher again, and I hope the rest of the trilogy is what the name indicates: a novel of the new Jedi Academy, and how Master Skywalker begins to set up the framework that will create a glorious order of Jedi Knights to defend the Republic.
