CJCraft's Full Review: Timothy Zahn - Dark Force Rising: Star Wars
This book is the sequel to Heir to the Empire in which we find out what happens to the New Republic right after the fall of the Emperor in The Return of the Jedi. Basically the Empire is trying to make a come back and things don't look so good for the New Republic.
I gave this book an 8 out of 10.
Overview:
I have to say the first book, Heir to the Empire, is a lot more exciting than this book. This book weaves a much more complicated plot and has a slower pace because of it.
It is more about intrigue and the development of the story and the characters than it is about edge-of-your-seat excitement. Don't get me wrong the book does have plenty of action but it is not action packed.
This book really lives up to the masterpiece of fiction that Star Wars is. It has the same level of detail applied to the story, the characters, the scenes that the movie has. And yet it goes off on it own to tell its own tale. It is a much more deeper and intellectual story compared to what you have seen in the movies. It is more complicated and convoluted so you have to pay attention but it adds a lot to the story.
If you can't get enough of Star Wars and want to know what happens next then this is a great series to read. You will find out what everyone is up to and what sort of situations they have got themselves into this time.
I have a review of the first book to if you want to know more about the series and I'll post one of the last one as soon as I get done reading it too.
