MESMERIZING! ANJA RULES!!!
This book was totally wonderful! Anja Gallandro is a cool character, and it's about damn time that Black Sun is back and badder than ever. The knaar battle was the bomb! And we finally got to see Anakin in action. It's kinda funny how jacen and Zekk fall in love with Anja and forget about jaina and Tenel Ka entirely. This book rules, and I can't wait for the next book!

Hey Anja- Oh sorry Jaina and Tenel Ka, It's over.
I liked this book, but I got mad when Jacen and Zekk hung up on Tenel Ka and Jaina. It was so evil, I almost cried. In the next book, they kind of get back on track again, but most of the main problem revolved around Jacen. Zekk is only crushing on Anja for like, half a day, and after they set off to Anobis, he seems to think "Whoa, wait a minute, what the h*** am I doing?"
Jacen is, as usual, stuck in his own little world on the other side of the rainbow and you have to take a unicorn to get there. Of course, they don't exist, so he is completely out of it. Welcome to the real world, Jacen Solo. Now Jaina, she's more practical.

An excellent start to the final trilogy of the series
Part of what fascinated me about this book right from the beginning was that all the kids, while still in character, seemed way older, and supposedly only a few months had passed between The Emperor's Plague and this book. It was an extremly well written book, with a well defined, understandable plot. In it, Jacen and Jaina and Anakin all go on a short vacation with their Dad (Han of course) to go and check out a really cool race on Ord Mantell. Once they get there they meet Anja Gallandro, a girl who hates Han because she believes he murdered her father. She plays on his guilt, and somehow convinces him to go try to right a bloody civil war on her home planet. Through an interesting chain of events they meet back up with there other friends (big surpise), as well as Anja who by the way is not only working for some evil smuggler guy, but also is addicted to some kind of drug. I also find it very interesting that all through this whole series Jacen is hung up on Tenel Ka, and now the instant some other pretty girl comes into the picture, he instantly forgets she ever even existed, and I sense the same thing beginning to happen to Zekk and Jaina too. This only serves even more to convince me that these budding relationships were silly to begin with, though I must admit I always enjoyed Jacen and Tenel Ka. As for Anja herself, well, she was cool and all but I found myself not really liking her much, and I just couldn't really care about her like I could the other characters. She just seemed more like a glorified and somewhat twisted version of an early Mara Jade to me. Another thing that bothered me was that even though Anakin was with them throughout the whole book, he was practicly ignored and it seemed as if they somehow forgot about him at some points. This was somewhat irritating because Anakin has always been my favorite of the Solo children. Besides those minor details though, this was an exellent book. I also think it is cool that a Star Wars book can deal with serious issues such as drug adiction. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves Star Wars, though it will probably make more sense if you have read the previous 11 first.
