Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'd been looking forward to Star by Star for a while as the next "big" installment in the New Jedi Order series. However, I was disappointed - and NOT just because a certain lovable character dies. I started to like NJO because it took a deeper and more intelligent approach to developing the main characters. It was great to see their emotional ups and downs, not just yet another firefight. Star by Star feels like a step back. The book is around 600 pages (the first 80 or so are actual the short story Star Wars: Recovery). Yet, the plot is surprisingly thin, with even less character development. It just seems like one battle after another. While there should have been many great opportunities for the protagonists to have a deep conversation or reach some greater insight, they don't. I was particularly disappointed that there wasn't much dialogue between Anakin Solo and Lowbacca, especially given Anakin's presence during Chewbacca's death. By the time the Vong invaded Coruscant, I was already feeling battle-fatigue. I felt Denning did a much better job with some of the smaller characters, like Borsk, Vergere, and Tsavong Lah. Each has memorable scenes and shows real growth. I only wish he'd added more scenes featuring these characters rather than endless battles.
