Fate of the Jedi: Apocalypse by Troy Denning
3.0
An ok end to the series, though a little anti-climatic. It didn't really leave me fulfilled, and left a lot of loose ends. And the victory seemed too easy.
Another adventure with all my favorite characters was definitely enjoyable. There were a lot of very powerful scenes that were beautifully written and very much affected me emotionally (especially the terrifying and cringe worthy scenes in which Abeloth is described in detail) but it did not overshadow Troy Denning's annoying habit of telling you every single little detail about a battle. Trust me Troy, I can live without knowing how much pain that random extra character is going through, or without knowing every single time a character makes the slightest of movements in a lightsaber battle.
I did like all the mysticism and spirituality tied in with the book surrounding Abeloth's character, though it was quite overwhelming to imagine this universe that suddenly got so much bigger and so much more complex.
And thank God Jaina was featured. She's my favorite character and I feel as if she never gets any love. Hopefully we'll get to see her and her niece Allana (who's character development really took off to a great level with this installment) much more in the next series. I'm looking forward to it, and it won't come fast enough; this ending was definitely not enough to whet my appetite.
