Quick impressions: I wanted to like this book because of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan and their relationship, which we see some of it in the film The Phantom Menace. However, the book just did not do it for me, and I found it a bit of a drag to read, especially the first half of the book. The book has some pluses and minuses. Probably a must for fans of the characters, optional for more casual Star Wars readers.
