I really like the imagery in this book. The way it's written is quite descriptive and I especially like the plague chamber.Perfect for ages 8-12, an easier read for adults. As you'd expect, everything moves along (and wraps up) with the help of handy plot helpers and being in the right place at the right time. If you enjoy books about teenagers saving the world (or in this case, the galaxy), then this series is for you.I do enjoy getting to know these characters, particularly Zekk and Tenel Ka - and the reprogrammed IGG-88. But found myself speeding through the book in an effort to get done the series quickly so
I wish I could give it a 4, but since it can't seem to move past the 3.5 mark no matter how satisfyingly it was wrapped up, 3 it will have to be. While the following trilogy has some interesting bits of development, I think this was mostly the ending that the series should've had: climatic last fight, bittersweet resolutions, hope for the future, and strengthened bonds.
3.5 Stars.I will admit in all fairness, I view this series with nostalgic fondness. It was one of my favorites growing up, and I still enjoy it as an adult. Have my tastes matured, and my critiques of the writing grown more strict; absolutely. But these books are still a lot of fun and there are still many poignant and thought provoking moments and themes to consider. I dearly wish these stories could have been portrayed as movies or a miniseries, because they would be brilliant in a visual
This was very enjoyable. It felt like a movie.
Oh man, forget Harry Potter, I really wanted to attend the Jedi Academy when I was a kid.
3.75/5
