This book was much better than the last few books. Again their is a strange obsession with Bowcasters in human hands, and the moral wrap up at the end of the book isn't great, but still the book was pretty good.

‘The Mark of the Crown’ is the fourth book in the Jedi Apprentice series. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan arrive on Gala, the planet they were headed to in ‘The Hidden Past’ before being sidetracked. Their presence has been requested as democratic elections are to be held to prevent imminent civil war due to corruption of the monarchy. In this book, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are still learning to be a true Padawan/Master duo. Throughout the story, both share similar thoughts and feelings but don’t feel they can share them with each other, believing that the other wouldn’t understand or misreading what kind of person the other truly is. Qui-Gon also has them immediately split off from each other, working from two different angles while on the same mission. Obi-Wan naturally finds himself in tight spots and situations that require a more experienced hand to help, but he has to step up to the plate and take care of things himself because Qui-Gon is outside of comm range. In the end, the two wrap up things quite superbly considering all the political maneuvering that was happening. Another good story!

These little books are great! I am really enjoying them. The titles sound corny, and the premise sometimes cheesy. But the actual books haven't been that at all. I've really enjoyed all 4 of them so far. I love seeing the dynamic that Qui-Gon and young Obi-Wan have.

This was perhaps the easiest to read in conjunction with canon. I loved getting a Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan story; seeing them, both grow as master and apprentice were amazing and really fun.
