CloneKnight reviewed Legacy of the Force: Betrayal by Aaron Allston (Star wars: legacy of the force, #1)

3 stars
Quite a promising start to this saga of books. I'm very invested in Jacen Solo's story and how his influence over Ben keeps growing following the events of this book, but the more galaxy-wide conflict feels a bit stale in comparison. Especially since the whole "pitting old friends and families against each other" isn't really utilized properly? There's lots of potential for drama and weight there. Maybe it's not completely appropriate and disheartening for some to read but to me it felt like it was just kind of there but no-one really cared about it, so in turn I didn't really either. Bit of a shame, but again, there's some really intriguing stuff here to set it off.
