Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I cannot express just how much I love this series. I go nuts waiting two months between each new title! "The Mark of the Crown" is no different and adds a great chapter to this wonderful series.
As has been well stated, this series is not just for the 8-12 year-olds it was written for. I am 20 and find these to be the best Star Wars books on the market (sans the novelizations of the movies).
I actually found the strength of "The Mark of the Crown" to be the continuing development of the relationship between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. As can be seen in this text, the two really want to be close; they each hold parallel thoughts but do not share these thoughts believing the other would not understand. This is a realistic hurdle that they will have to jump in order to even get close to the father/son relationship seen in Episode I. If Jude Watson (a supurb author) were to just jump stright to this father/son relationship a lot of the magic this series holds would be used up very quickly. Give Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon time, the relationship is destined to mature. Right now they are just being typical stuborn guys ;)
Finally, the Jedi Apprentice books are the only Star Wars books I've read (aside from the movie novelizations) that portray the Force as I feel George Lucas meant it to be. This alone gives me great respect for this series. All of the Extended Universe books I've read that occur beyond Return of the Jedi are very shameful in this aspect.
I am very much looking forward to all of the upcoming titles in this series.
