Destiny's Way (2003)
If I could choose a term that described my overall impression of this book, it would most likely be: pleasantly dissatisfied.Yes, an oxymoron.Simply put, I expected more from this book. The pleasant part comes from the way certain events played out, covering major ground without treading too heav...

Ruin (Dark Tide, #2) (2000)
"Well, it is only Star Wars," I tell myself as I review my complaints with Dark Tide 1 & 2. Half of me views Star Wars as something extra-literary, a thing of high mythology, but also trivial as bubble gum. To that half, it makes no more sense to critique Star Wars than it does to critique Homer'...

Onslaught (Dark Tide, #1) (2000)
Although Michael Stackpole is to blame for many of the problems that weigh down Dark Tide I: Onslaught (which I'll get to in a moment), I'm pointing my finger at the entire New Jedi Order editorial team. The decision to publish Onslaught directly after the cataclysmic Vector Prime is the novel's ...

The Unifying Force (2004)
If you're reading the NJO, you're probably no stranger to the EU. I'm going to sum up my thoughts on the entire series, leading up to this book. While I can't remember specifics about each book, that's not really the point of this review. The question is, should you read the NJO?First off, if you...
