Force Heretic II: Refugee

I will not have as much to say about this book as last time.

Unfortunately, a bit of a skim-read for me.

The problem with this trilogy so far is that the ideas are fine, and the story is fine, but it's just so light that it's dragged out for nearly 400 pages and isn't interesting enough to warrant the length.

Someone in my last review said Nom Anor's story is the best part of the trilogy, and I'll say that this time around, he was really good. Again, though, it felt a little sidetracked. There was a whole like nearly 150 pages where it was dropped and then we returned to him wayyyy after we last saw him and lots had happened outside of the pages.

Danni and Jacen were good enough. Wish I had more to say!

Sorry for the tiny review but there's nothing really to say about this book. I made sure to get through it really quickly to get it out of the way. Thanks for reading the shit review!

5/10

Significantly weaker than the first part of the mini-series. The stuff I liked from book 1 was all scaled back, and uninteresting stuff put in its place - it also seemed to suffer from this desire on the part of some NJO authors to revisit every single plot point from earlier novels, as we return to Bakura to see how things have been holding up there in the two decades since the planet was introduced.

I think once the Force Heretic series is done I need to take a Star Wars break.
