4 out of 5 stars Relationship Relay...   August 17, 2008
There are a couple of really strong relationships going on in this book. Tenel Ka and Jacen (Naw Durr.) and, even if they don't know it, Zekk and Jaina. Tenel Ka starts to relize that she likes Jacen after he cut off her arm, and Jacen has already felt that way towards her. And Jacen is really scared that Tenel Ka will hate him for the accident he thinks he caused, when they both had equal measures of blame. And Jaina and Zekk's thoughts continually swirl around each other, moreso Zekk than little ms independent. Jaina and I are a lot alike, so I have an easier time seeing things in the story from her point of view. Which is probably why I liked 'Dark Journey' in the NJO series so much. Anyway, READ THIS BOOK!


5 out of 5 stars Great Installment   July 18, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Luke has decided its time for Jaina, Jacen, Tenel Ka, and Lowie to be trained with a lightsabre. Jacen and Jaina are a little cautious about taking up taking up a lightsabre after their experiences at Shadow Academy. Tenel Ka staying true to her charactor still prefers to rely on her phyiscal strength instead of the Force and ends up putting together her lightsabre too fast and rather recklessly. During a dueling practice with Jacen it comes back to haunt her and she's seriously injured. Uncertain if she wants to contiune her Jedi lessons Tenel Ka returns home to Hapes. Jacen, Jaina and Lowie go to Hapes to try and cheer her up and there's an assisination attempted on her grandmother. The Jedi must find out who is out to kill her grandmother. Once again another great story. Full of adventure, charactors that well fleshed out and each of them uniquely and wonderful.


5 out of 5 stars Awesome   May 22, 2006
This is definatly my favorite book in the series. Its awesome to see how they build their lightsabers. It also is the most interesting! I loved it!!!!!


3 out of 5 stars Good, but not the best of the series.   January 4, 2006
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

This was a good book, but I enjoyed the first three in the series more. I have liked reading this series now instead of when they first came out. I enjoy reading the early stories of the new generation of Jedi Knights. If you can find this book it is worth your time, especially if you enjoyed The New Jedi Order series.


5 out of 5 stars a delight to read.   August 10, 2003

This was the first book of the Young Jedi Knights series that I read, but it is still my favorite. Once again, Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta have given readers young and old an excellent addition to any star wars collection.
