Quite a fun book. I really liked the atmosphere, and the way that these characters were used.
It's also the only book I've seen that acknowledges how human centric the world is. I feel like with 2 humans in lead positions it doesn't do as much about that as it could. But I love a sentient droid, it makes more use of aliens than normal, and it's really good to at least hear someone else complain about it.

I admit that I bought this book because of its cover: its sepia tones and dark inks ooze noir. A fact that, when combined with glossy purple Star Wars logo, had me nerding out pretty hardcore. The first thing to note is that book takes place in the period immediately following Revenge of the Sith with most of the Jedi Order hunted and killed while those left alive are on the run. Our main character, according to the back of the book, is a Jedi turned Private Investigator named Jax Pavan who receives a message from his dying master leaving Jax to compleete an important mission. Unfortunately, Jax is where this novel starts to have its problems since he is technically a bounty hunter not a private investigator.

I liked it. I like reading what happened prior to the prequels and just after.

Reaves is quickly becoming my favorite Star Wars author. His Darth maul novel was fantastic and this novel, which in many ways is a sequel, and is almost as good. A star noirs set in the seedy streets of the capital in the days following the fall of republic, Jedi Twilight tells the story Jax Pavin he is a Jedi who tries to rebuild his life in hiding during the days of the empire's birth. I-five the amazing droid character that played a a huge role in the Darth Maul novel returns. Lots of fun and a must for fans of all things Jedi.

A good Star wars book. Excellent characters, especially throughout the rest of the series. This book has quite a bit of mystery elements, much more so than most Star wars books.
