A fairly unremarkable book. I found it fairly slow. I honestly don't have much to say about it. I'm hoping future books in this series pick up the pace and excitement.

The tight schedule necessary to produce this amount of writing in such a short time left some of the subplots a bit underdeveloped imo

This book redeemed a portion of this duology for me, as it was a more cohesive, directed story, while Onslaught felt like so many pieces thrown haphazardly about on a table that there wasn't anything holding it together.

Ruin really cut to the heart of the conflict, cementing the near inability of a peaceful resolution, at least for awhile.

My primary objection is the utter lack of Han Solo. James Luceno's duology will cover some of this ground, but it doesn't make up for Stackpole's insertion of an emasculated, absent Han.
