" This book is pretty much the reason why I'm so behind on the Star Wars EU after years of reading it up to date. I actually can't believe it's been a decade since this came out. It's not terrible, but it just couldn't hold my interest. So I'd dropped it for years before coming back to it (I'm not even sure if it was this volume or the second that I actually paused on. I found myself reading the other stories that came out instead, like Zahn's Outbound Flight and so on. Somehow, I made it through them, and am now stuck on Balance Point, which has also been in the middle for years. I'm just not meant to enjoy the NJO. "
