rickybgood 's review for:
Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void
by Tim Lebbon
This has been an interesting read although I did get mildly confused at times because of the constant back and forth between Lanoree’s past training and her present pursuits.
This book does pave the way to the reasons as to the opposing sides of her and her brothers position in the force, but only sheds a small light on the origins of the Jedi. You discover the use of swords as it pre-dates lightsabers, and on closer inspection perceive possible hints at lightsaber technology, however it paints very light light on Tho Yor. I do feel that there could be a much stronger introduction into the beginnings of the Jedi, as the actions of Lanoree are somewhat questionable due to the motive of her use of the force. At one point she nearly steps over to the dark side, using a mind eraser on a victim, and several times you witness her killing subjects with little or no concern. Added to this, Lanoree also neglects her twileak companion. He rescues her several times during their pursuit, and when he is shot, she ignores him.
During the story, there was a much lager emphasis on her personal personal family feud between her and Dal, which although was the main driving force for the overall plot, became irksome at times. This book does give some really nice action scenes at times, but does feel tiresome due to the constant change in the past history and present pursuits, with little regard to Lanoree’s overall character.
For this reason, I give it a 3 star rating.
