" This was the first book I read in the series, and I was kinda able to figure out what was going on, which was nice, but when I reread it it didn't spend twelve pages telling about what had already happened (a common failing among series; see the babysitters' club, the beacon street girls, WITCH, Alice, the Wee Free Men, etc.) but I suspect I would have liked it more had I read the first book first. The Solo twins are being themselves, only Jacen is having scary, cryptic dreams. oh, no! And Jaina has been injured, but she will get better...right? And their parents' marriage is falling apart. This has way too much character development for a typical sci-fi novel, but that's okay. "
