I gave this book a 4.5 out of 5 stars. It was close to a 5 star until the end. It was a great ride then the end felt anti-climatic. It does not kill the book but ends on a sour note. Outside of that it was a great read and a great break between the Legacy of the Jedi and Fate of the Jedi series. Luceno does a great job of pulling from the entire EU and movies for different flashback points and memories. I would suggest this book to anyone who like SW.
