A review by aguazales
Bloodlines by Karen Traviss

4.0

I enjoyed this book much more than the first installment in the series, Betrayal. Karen Traviss pulled me in with her wrenching portrayal of Jacen Solo's slide to the dark side and the effect it has on the people he loves. The characters seemed much more human and the Star Wars universe seemed more realistic and relatable now that such human emotions were attached to the conflict. Finally, someone seems to realize that not every Star Wars series has to start with some massive threat like a Killik or Vong invasion. This is a refreshing glimpse into a conflict which neither side desires and in which the lines between right and wrong become increasingly blurred. Highly recommended.
