Book Reviews of Revelation (Star Wars: Legacy of the Force, Book 8)
Book Review: "Come On, Fett: Show Me How It's Done"
Summary: 4 Stars
You see that yellow glow in the eyes of Darth Caedus on the cover? Does it scare you? If not, it should. That's the look of a man who is bent on imposing order in the galaxy, and will let nothing stand in the way of his doing it.
"Revelation" (or "Star Wars: Legacy of the Force Episode VIII - Revelation" as I like to think of it) is the penultimate novel in the "Star Wars: Legacy of the Force" series and no doubt a much anticipated novel. And while "Revelation" has its flaws, it ultimately proves to be a reasonably satisfying story.
The galaxy has once again found itself at full-scale war. Jacen Solo has become a Sith Lord and is finally ready to shed his old name for his true name of "Darth Caedus." Meanwhile, the Jedi have been forced to retreat into hiding, but Jaina Solo has decided to seek the help of Boba Fett in neutralizing Jacen, while Ben Skywalker is determine to prove the truth of Mara Jade Skywalker's murder once and for all.
I must agree to some degree with the comments regarding the book's middling subplot. I don't really care about either Boba Fett or his wife. This often becomes the problem of a series like this, that while there is much to enjoy, there are some parts where you just find yourself getting bored and wishing you were reading about, oh say, Darth Caedus. Things worked out well in the end, though, and I wasn't all that disappointed or annoyed by it.
In any case, you can't have all of the best stuff in the penultimate book, and do feel that they are definitely saving a lot of the best for last. Either way, this book ties up some important plotlines, while setting some exciting developments in motion for that all-important final book. So I enjoy "Revelation" for what it is, and look forward to May and the release of "Invincible," when we can finally learn the outcome of the "Legacy of the Force."
