Backlash by Aaron Allston

3.0

This volume of Fate of the Jedi picks up right where ABYSS left off. Most of the action takes place on Dathomir, and we actually get the whole gang (Leia, Luke, Han) together again. Despite that (I love me a good Dathomir story), this installment wasn't as page-turney as the first three, and it didn't have enough Jaina for my tastes (but then, there's never enough Jaina for my tastes, so...). That's not a comment on Aaron Allston's writing in any way, the plot just wasn't as gripping, at least not until the end. I did really enjoy the interaction between Ben and Vestara Khai, and I hope that carries on throughout the series. As always, the audio book production values are excellent.
