Book Reviews of The Approaching Storm (Star Wars)
Book Review: A great addition to Star Wars
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading some of the prior reviews, I had set myself up for a disappointing book. But I was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful writing and flowing story presented here.
The story focuses on Luminara, her apprentice Bariss, Obi-Wan, and Anakin as they try to solve a dispute on a backwater planet that may end up tearing apart the entire Republic. Be warned, there is lots of politics in play here, with the intelligent story telling that is found in all the previous Star Wars books set in the Prequel time period including Cloak of Deception, Phantom Menace, and Rogue Planet.
This book has plenty of action though, and great new characters including Luminara and her apprentice. The way Obi-Wan and Anakin are characterized make for a great lead in to Episode II. If you're trying to read the books in order, I highly suggest not skipping this one. It gives great insight into the mind of Anakin, and his willingness to break rules and go against the standard Jedi Code.
Very enjoyable, and a great addition to the Star Wars universe.
Summary of The Approaching Storm (Star Wars)
?ENTERTAINING AND INTELLIGENT . . . This book is pure class all the way. . . . The final page is a great climax.??Starburst
The Republic is decaying, even under the leadership of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, who was elected to save the galaxy from collapsing under the forces of discontent. On the tiny but strategic planet of Ansion, a powerful faction is on the verge of joining the growing secessionist movement. At the Chancellor?s request, the Jedi Council sends two Jedi Knights, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luminara Unduli, along with their Padawans Anakin Skywalker and Barriss Offee, to stabilize the planet?s population. To succeed, the Jedi will have to fulfill near-impossible tasks, befriend wary strangers, and influence two great armies, stalked all the while by an enemy sworn to see the negotiations collapse and the mission fail. . . .
