Enemy Lines II: Rebel Stand by Aaron Allston
4.0
I feel that there isn’t a lot to say about this book, so I’m sorry to drop a short review on everyone!
Aaron Allston continues to be a really great writer, even if this book doesn’t come close to the last book for me.
There are some interesting concepts explored in this book, and some good storylines, but also some stuff I plainly found a little goofy, and it was a bit too slow for my taste.
Lord Nyax. I am in two minds.
One, I found him pretty cool and felt sorry for him. But two, I also found his design a little silly, and the whole big Force stuff he was doing just felt a little ridiculous and almost campy.
I enjoyed the undercover mission as an idea, loving Luke in the Yuuzhan Vong armour, but it didn’t feel like any of the characters that weren’t Luke did much on the mission, and it also felt like the mission didn’t actually accomplish anything at all.
Some big manbaby died… then they left.
The dogfighting, as always with Allston, was often entertaining to read, but I didn’t enjoy the latter part of the big just being one big massive dogfight.
However, I did love the outcome of the battle, I just found that the actual battle itself went on too long.
A good book but nothing special. Sorry for the short review!
7/10
