Star Wars: Darksaber (Abridged) Audiobook

" This book is bad. Really, really bad. Also unnecessary. Don't read. "

" As is often the case with Star Wars novels, they tend to be a mixed bag. Thankfully however, this one turned out to be much in the spirit of the original movie series (same great characters) while still containing an interesting plot. As with any book, there are plot holes or parts that may seem difficult to believe, but on the whole they are rather hard to notice when you get caught up in the adventure. Kudos to Kevin J. Anderson! "

" The follow-up novel to "Children of the Jedi" is a novel interested in being as ambitious and entertaining and frentic as possible. Every moment seems iconic, every conflict takes place on a grand scale, and the use of continuity is first rate. "

" This is the worst Star Wars novel of all time to me. It involves the Hutts building another Deathstar on their own dime, as cheaply as possible, and they want it shaped like a lightsaber. "

" This was far better than Children of the Jedi which came before it. The jedi students defending Yavin was quite entertaining. The destruction of the darksaber was rather anti-climactic though to my mind. Luke and Calista's trip seemed pointless and a red heiring. "

" Curse you, Darksaber. You managed to wrench me out of the Star Wars fandom for years by being so bad. "

" Much better than Children of the Jedi. Anderson handled Callista well, making her a lot more interesting than she has any right being, but I still can't wait for her to leave the series. "

" I think this book got a little too close to Barbara Hambly's sequence. It got some HOLY BAD WRITING, BATMAN all over it. "

" I read this years ago, and I still remember to this date, that was one of the most refreshing Star Wars novels that I had in my hands. I see by the way of the other reviews here, that not everyone thinks out of the box, and they love to say it to the world eheheh! "

" Not a good one. The whole Hutt storyline could be spotted a million miles away. And you have Luke in deep thought about his jedi-less girlfriend; yet he never once considers that his sister is in a happy marriage to a non-Jedi?! It was Star Wars, which I love, but weak. "

" Utterly unremarkable. Part of a sequence that included Children of the Jedi, Planet of Twilight, and the Dark Fleet Trilogy, all of which I forced myself to read, then summarized all six for a friend who was reading them with me (I didn't want her to stop in horror). "

" I want to really like this novel, and I think Kevin Anderson did well with what he was given, but on the whole I felt like this was fluff and filler. When the major plot development in the first half of the novel is just written-off, I felt cheated. "

" I read a lot of Star Wars novels in Jr. High. It took a few dozen books before I realized many of them just weren't all that stellar. Ah, well, I'll squirrel away the memories on the internet and free up a book shelf. "

" Action sluggish; still worth reading. "

" More action against the Hutts and a new weapon, the Deatstar, Darksaber is under construction. This is a decent SW book. "

" Kevin J. Anderson... Stop milking the cow that is the Star Wars universe... (Too late x 100, I know.) "

" Except for the opening sequence, utterly uninteresting IMO. "

" Read it for the 3d time now, still awesome! "

" This was the first Star Wars book I ever read, so I admit that it holds a special place for me. Still an excellent book. "

" DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!!! I am sorry, but it blew chunks and took decent side characters with it! "

" This is why Star Wars books are mostly... OKAY.... or sucky. "

" The follow-up novel to "Children of the Jedi" is a novel interested in being as ambitious and entertaining and frentic as possible. Every moment seems iconic, every conflict takes place on a grand scale, and the use of continuity is first rate. "

" May Callista die. Right now, I'm upset with Luke because I know what happens later on in the books, so him spending all his time talking about how Callista is his "one true love" is making me really sick. "

" I enjoyed this story more than the previous books. I was not really a fan of this Calista character though cause she has turned Luke into a douche. The super weapon though is hilarious, and Daala is still awesome. You really gotta feel bad for her sometimes. "

" Not a bad, but not a great book. This was a weird lull in the Star Wars universe where a bunch of unrelated arc-less books were being written. Hard to really get into those sometimes. "

" I read a lot of Star Wars novels in Jr. High. It took a few dozen books before I realized many of them just weren't all that stellar. Ah, well, I'll squirrel away the memories on the internet and free up a book shelf. "

" A typical Star Wars novel. Nothing deep, but the good guys win a satisfying victory while Star Wars fans will appreciate a little Death Star history. "

" The most interesting part of this book is not the Jedi, or the apprentices, or even Luke and his soggy relationship with Callista, but rather it is the power struggle between various Imperial factions. "

" Some of the first books I'd read as a kid. I wonder if they would be so great if I read them now??? "

" Amateurish. Ridiculous improbabilities, even for SW fiction. Two-dimensional characters. "

" This book is bad. Really, really bad. Also unnecessary. Don't read. "

" Sequel to Anderson's 'Apprentice' trilogy is a good, solid bit of space opera. I really like the class of Jedi trainees he introduces. Shame more wasn't done with them. Would like to have seen more stories with Luke and his students going on adventures. "

" Kevin J. Anderson... Stop milking the cow that is the Star Wars universe... (Too late x 100, I know.) "
