Star Wars: Invincible Book Review

I'm back with a review from a galaxy far, far away....you guessed it, if not by reading the title of this post, Star Wars! I'm a huge fan of Star Wars, and have been watching the movies since...well, forever, really. Admittedly, I'm new to the Expanded Universe, by that I mean the universe with Jaina Solo, Allana Solo, and Ben Skywalker. However, I did read about the characters on Wookieepedia, and guessed my favorite characters from there. Just last year, I discovered the book series Young Jedi Knights, but was slightly unimpressed by Jaina Solo, and she didn't end up as a favorite character from that series, however Tenal-Ka managed to do so.
   Last December, I found two of the Legacy of the Force books (Sacrifice-written by Karen Traviss- being the other), and Invincible was one of them. I wasn't quite so fond of Sacrifice and didn't actually finish it, but skimmed through it, mostly because of all the politics, which I'm not particularly a fan of. However, I finished Invincible (written by Troy Denning) within a few days. So, onto the review!

Note: If you don't know about a certain spoiler about a couple of main characters, (unlike me who read it on Wikia) this post has spoilers in it, so be warned!

Overview:
The truth has been revealed; Jacen Solo has fallen to the dark side, and is behind the murder of his own aunt. Now, his twin sister, Jaina Solo, knows what must has to be done, and knows that Jacen, now Darth Caedus, must fall. But can the Sword of the Jedi stop Caedus?

Review:
Now, firstly, I would like to say one thing. The only books I read with these characters in them were when they were teenagers (or younger), basically around my age. Now, fast-forwarding years later where two of them are evil (I still can't believe Jacen is evil, it seems that just last year he was a fourteen year old boy making jokes on Yavin 4! Don't even get me started on Tahiri....). Anyway, onto the actual review. This book was good. It was beyond good. It was action packed, with some slower bits with the Jedi Order attempting to plan on how to stop Jacen. The book was centered mostly around Jaina Solo, but Ben Skywalker had occasional scenes in them, ones that I wasn't mostly fond of. The book had humor at the best times, and shocking revealations in others, and had some particularly awkward scenes. The book actually opened an insight into Boba Fett, which made me like him a little better than I had before, and I particularly liked his slightly father-daughter type relationship with Jaina, being her mentor and all. The biggest moment of the book would probably be the end, the battle between Jaina and Darth Caedus. The book is one of the better Star Wars books, and is the first book I've finished reading of Legacy of the Force. The book also made me like Jaina more, and it had one of my favorite characters in it (Tenal-Ka), if only for a short amount of time. In all, it was a highly entertaining book, and I finished it within a few days.

Stars:
Four out of Five.
