It's unfortunate that this book is part of the largely excellent NJO series, because I can't tell you to skip it! Sure the basic story is good, but that's prescripted to fit into the timelines/plotlines of the series as a whole. Once Williams got to it, the life seems sucked out. The book isn't worthless, it's just nowhere near as engaging and interesting as some of the other books in the series.Most people seem to be criticizing Jacen's characterization - I was personally absolutely appalled by Mara. She seemed very flighty and ditzy compared to the Mara I know and love. Although she doesn't get a lot of "page" time in Remnant (Book 15), her treatment was more true to form.My advice: get this one out of the way so you can get on with the good stuff!
