This books was kind of a letdown from the first in the series "Jedi Search." I was hoping for a great story arc and was letdown. I was hoping to see more or Gantoris and his "Dark Man" although we do meet him and see him together I think it was a waste of what Gantoris could of been. Very disappointed.

As for the Sun Crusher, a new doomsday weapon stolen from the Empire by Han Solo and Kyp Durron. I thought that Mr. Anderson uses this weapon terribly wrong. First of I believe no government would of ever do what the New Republic did with it.

And as I do not want to give any spoilers away, all I will say is this about Luke. It is a shame in how the first in the new Jedi Knights is being treated like an idiot in this one. He is Luke Skywalker for God sakes not Harry Potter. Give him more strength. The character was written like he was weaker then what he was when he was a farm boy.

I really hope the third book pulls this series together. I came in reading the first one fast and loved it this one took me longer cause I was disappointed. A rarity for me when reading. ( )

The chapters are quite short, and the story flits from one perspective to another, it ultimately feels very slight and sedate and about nothing, even though there are some momentous events in the novel. All the characters are flat. Wedge Antilles falling in love with the person who designed the Death Star without knowing it would be used to destroy planets was really something, and him grieving when she loses her memories and identity was pretty underwhelming. Still, Anderson is a fairly competent story-teller, at least on the level of dialogue and sentence construction. ( )

Chapter 2 of the Jedi Academy Trilogy. OK, so Anderson took a bit longer to build up the complexity than I expected. It is now here. And like any middle chapter, this is the most darkest with regards to what happens: a prime character has her memory wiped clean, Han Solo loses the Millennium Falcon, Luke Skywalker is struck down by one of his students, and the head of state, Mon Mothma, is quickly dying. And these are just a few of the things happening! There is so much more going on that I can't list it all! All of it though is very enjoyable and kept me on the edge of my seat. Now I'm dying to read the final chapter! ( )

Again, a fun jaunt into the Star Wars universe. This time, however, I feel I was slightly less than ecstatic with some of the plot decisions that Anderson made. At the beginning of the book, one of Luke's trainees was acting as the major source of tension at the Jedi Academy; by the end of the book, that role had been transferred almost needlessly to a completely different character. The second character effectively abandoned his entire personality almost instantly to take on the personality of the character that originally served that role, and this disappointed me. I liked the character better as he was originally, and while I think the decision to change him would have been fine if developed properly, I wanted to see more of a transitional period rather than a direct jump. Frankly, I think we would have been better off if the first character had never existed at all and the whole span of the book was just devoted to the slow development of the second character, because I'm left at the end wondering what the point of having two really was in the first place.

Another issue that I had with this plot was the constant gambling between Han and Lando over ownership of the Millenium Falcon. I know that both characters gamble a lot and both characters also love the Falcon, but it felt unrealistically comical--almost cartoonish--that they were gambling so frequently. The first instance, especially, also felt out of character for Han, who was rushing around to get to Leia after she was in a flying accident, only to drop everything and play cards.

There were also, as in the previous book, a few instances here and there of repetitive/awkward language. "He was stunned to feel ____. It stunned him." Okay, we get it. He's feeling a little stunned. This wasn't too painfully common, but it was noticeable and still bears mentioning. There were some unnecessary exclamation points, too.

All in all, I enjoyed the read, but I'm definitely not taking the trilogy too seriously, either. ( )
