Omen (Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi, #2)
by Christie Golden
by Christie Golden
I think only Barbara Hambly is able to write worse (much worse) Star Wars than this. Luke and Ben eat a lot gooey desserts and discuss nothing in great detail then have many grand adventures in a single paragraph that simply says they had many grand adventures. Han and Leia go to a stock show. That's it.
In 233 pages this book is full of nothing. It read like a cliff notes version, only less interesting. Most of the space that is there is full of inanity.
Star Wars has been on a decline since the New Jedi Order ended, maybe Del Rey needs to pass the baton to the next player or maybe there just aren't any more stories to be told in this universe. I don't what it is but these first two books of the Fate of the Jedi series are a new low as far as pointless and boring goes.
I hope it gets better.

I would have to agree. I only rate one ST:EU novel worse than Hambly's atrocities: McIntyre's "The Crystal Star".

With McIntyre's book I could at least listen to the abridged version without my brain turning to gelatinous boredom incarnate. Hambly, I never even finished listening to the abridged audiobooks.
I have had both authors recommended to me by people at numerous times but I can't get over how terrible their Star Wars books were.
