Book Review: The last book in the three-book story arc
Summary: 4 Stars

"The Call to Vengeance" is the last part of a three book story arc. The story is extremely exciting and interesting to read as the events we've been reading about in the previous two books begin to reveal themselves. I was absolutely shocked when all of the deceit and secrets were revealed! But of course I found the ending very satisfying. My only small disappointment (my reason for taking 1/2 a star, resulting for the fours stars) is how Qui-Gon's character is portrayed. I can understand all of his feelings when Tahl dies and I completely agree that he will not be acting himself. But I just can't see him as someone who will be bent on revenge. I would definitely be sure that he would want the enemies be brought to justice, but he would not resort to revenge. But I guess that that's just my opinion. I also wish there would be more of Obi-Wan. Read "The Ties That Bind" and "The Death of Hope" before this book or I assure you that you will be a bit confused because many of the events which take place closely tie in with the two previous books.

This series explains a lot about how Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan first meet. Their beginning is far from simple and all smooth-sailings, which would be pretty monotonous if it was. Though the books are said for ages 9-12, like many other reviewers I agree that the Jedi Apprentice Series are for anybody. Extremely well-written, the emotions, thoughts, and feelings of the main characters are very well put down into words. I also like the different array of humans and aliens which are portrayed, both good and bad.

Plus check out the new Jedi Quest series, dealing with the master and apprentice duo of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. Another Star Wars Series I recommend and like a lot are the Young Jedi Knights series. The stories are about Jacen and Jaina Solo (twins of Han and Leia Solo), and their friends as they journey on the road to becoming Jedi Knights. More on the teenager level of reading. For adult readings, a few selections I enjoy reading are "The Thrawn Trilogy", "Rogue Planet", "The Jedi Academy Trilogy", "The Corellian Trilogy", and "The Truce at Bakura".
