The Approaching Storm by Alan Dean Foster
2.5
adventurous hopeful slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This is a bit of a nothing book; meant to be something of a prequel to episode 2. Because the book can't reveal anything too much about the plot of episode 2, nothing really happens, it's just a whimsical jedi adventure through an alien planet. Which honestly makes it sound better than it is. 

It does set up the political situation of the republic of this time relatively well. 

However this book does really show its age in the treatment in some of the native inhabitants and
a kidnapping plot involving mentally handicapped people who are then healed by the jedi
