Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Vortex audiobook Reviews:
1/The Jedi on Coruscant finally stand up to that BITCH, Admiral Daala. The Jedi masters confront “Grand” Master Kenth Hamner for his deception in hiding political dealings from them. He is relieved from the Jedi Council, but ultimately a fatal duel occurs between Master Saba Sebatyne and Master Hamner when Kenth attempts to keep the Jedi Stealth-X squadron from launching to go to Luke’s aid across the galaxy.
Han, Leia, and Jaine Solo launch a daring raid to rescue Vailen and Jyscella Horn who unjustly remain frozen in Carbonite by the spite of Chief of State Daala. Simultaneously, Booster Terrick absconds with 100 of Coruscants elite aboard the Errant Venture in an apparent kidnapping disguised as a Sabaac tournament benefit fundraiser.
Luke and Ben Skywalker continue a fragile alliance with the Sith, Lord Talon, Saber Kai and his daughter, Sith Apprentice, Vestara Kai. Luke tracks the ancient Force succubus creature, Aboloth, to the Falanasi refuge where he confronts and kills her again, this time in the form of an old Falanasi friend of Luke’s. Lord Talon has become strangely infected and is mutating after bathing in Aboloth’s Pool of Knowledge. He breaks the treaty with Luke and lightsaber/Force brawls erupt. Vestara Kai continues a strange relationship with Ben Skywalker. They both like each other, they both want to turn each other. Vestara both spies on, betrays and saves the Skywalkers in an evermore vague sense of allegiances for Vestara.
Tahiri Veila’s trial takes some unprecedented turns.
Great book, glad to see the good guys finally pushing back.
2/Starts off with each chapter a different scene and appears unrelated. Slow to connect. As far as Star Wars stories go, this one does not quite measure up
3/This is a solid 3.5 stars. Not good enough for 4; not bad enough for 3. But I can’t justify a 4, so a 3/5 stars it is.
Some of my issues don’t stem from this book, but the series itself. It manifests more here though.
LOTF and FOTJ (particularly the latter) <i>should</i> be about the next generation of Jedi. FOTJ does a very good job of this, better than LOTF. And yet, both revolve around Luke’s love life. It is incredibly annoying.
– The “alliances” between the Lost Tribe and the Skywalkers become annoying. The Sith betray. Yeah, yeah. Luke follows along. Yeah, yeah. The tensions are bothersome, but the way the plot moves forward isn’t.
– Kenth is in over his head. He realizes this, attempts to compensate, and overdoes it. His character really shows what it means to lie by omission and the dangers of doing so.
– The word “barvy” is INCREDIBLY overused. Geez. Same with “Bloah.” I’ve hated it since…Dark Nest? Annoying.
– Daala digs herself a bigger hole, especially against the Jedi. I almost want to feel bad for her.
– The Freedom Flight’s marches only seem like they’re there to solely drive Daala’s plot. Though the events cut me. It’s almost….now that I write this out, it’s like why I don’t like the interludes in Wendigs’ “Aftermath” series. They’re seemingly pointless and drive me bonkers. That’s how I feel about the marches.
– Denning deals with the Ben/Vestara romance after Golden’s botching of it (and random creation of it) pretty well.
