‘The Fight for Truth’ is the ninth book in the Jedi Apprentice series and takes place after Qui-Gon has accepted Obi-Wan back as his apprentice and the two have done much reflecting in the Jedi Temple. This book sees more of an investigative side from the Master-Padawan duo of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. I think it’s a good move after all the civil wars and hunting and fighting of Xanatos the two have been up to. It’s always interesting to see how Jedi will act when unable to use their weapons.
Yoda calls upon Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan for a mission but this time it’s not just them, Yoda wants them to work with a brand new Master-Padawan duo of Adi Gallia and Siri. This is a really interesting move because we start the book with seeing Obi-Wan and Siri not getting along so well. She still blames him for casting a bad view on all Padawans thanks to his decisions with Melida/Daan, and Obi-Wan is working to fight the urge that the two of them are in a constant competition.
What should be a standard mission for the group, assess whether an infant is Force-sensitive to be brought to the Temple for training, naturally does not go at all to plan. Due to this, Obi-Wan and Siri have to learn how to get along and work as a team when they are separated from their Masters. It’s interesting to see how Siri’s impulsivity is paired with Obi-Wan’s learned from his mistakes new way of planning first before acting. It was also great to see Qui-Gon having to work with Adi and how the two of them clash in their techniques and having to figure out how best to work together to solve the problems happening on Kegan.
Throughout the book, there is also talk of visions of the future, which were amazing. It was a lot of fun deciphering them to the events that happen further down the timeline, while wishing the Jedi could see the truths in many of them! Another great book, it has left me eagerly awaiting to see how Obi-Wan and Siri interact further down the road.
