Although I hadn't realized this was the third book of a small trilogy in the vast array of Star Wars books it was still enjoyable. One of the annoying things about Star Wars books is that they have different authors,good and bad, often switching between volumes. The author of this particular work , Troy Denning, has a very descriptive and engaging style of writing which effectively conveys the story. It is also frequently delightful to imagine words that you must take out of context in your head, but actually have no idea what that thing is or is supposed to look like.Overall it was a great read and I would recommend it to any intense Star Wars fan.
