Book Reviews of Champions of the Force (Star Wars: The Jedi Academy Trilogy, Vol. 3)
Book Review: Champions of a Flop
Summary: 3 Stars
I was really excited to read this trilogy. Last summer I read through the Thrawn trilogy and was pleased by a nice realistic story. Right after that i picked up the first of this trilogy and was so disappointed. Well after getting through that book the second one, Dark Apprentice, which was more i style i could enjoy.
I felt great getting into this book. I was anticipating some good jedi battles, and the forging of the new jedi academy. Well guess what to all those who haven't read this...it happens within the first 150 pages.
I haven't finished reading this yet and i really don't know why I want to.
The chapters jump around every 5-10 pages, the secondary plot line never interested me, and I have notice rehashed lines from the movies. On top of these obvious problems with the writing the worst part of it all is the predictability. The New Republic gets in some problems, and guess what? They come out with out any major problems.
The one character that i really started to like and still do is Kyp. He is a character that i like as much a Mara Jade for one reason...He isn't in the movies and he will re-appear through out the series. I am interested to see where his character goes and how the effects in these last books will effect the over all out come of story.
I gave this book 3 star because i felt like it had potential but ran out of steam really fast. I hope for the next books to be much better, and more enjoyable, but this was a good try.
Summary of Champions of the Force (Star Wars: The Jedi Academy Trilogy, Vol. 3)
Suspended helplessly between life and death, Luke Skywalker lies in state at the Jedi academy. But on the spirit plane, Luke fights desperately for survival, reaching out physically to the Jedi twins. At the same time, Leia is on a life-and-death mission of her own, a race against Imperial agents hoping to destroy a third Jedi child -- Leia and Han's baby Anakin -- hidden on the planet Anoth. Meanwhile, Luke's former prot?g? Kyp Durron has pirated the deadly Sun Crusher on an apocalyptic mission of mass destruction, convinced he is fighting for a just cause. Hunting down the rogue warrior, Han must persuade Kyp to renounce his dark crusade and regain his lost honor. To do it, Kyp must take the Sun Crusher on a suicide mission against the awesome Death Star prototype -- a battle Han knows they may be unable to win... even with Luke Skywalker at their side!Fantasy Books
