| Review by Bones, UK, 2010: |

"The
Jedi Prince series concludes with Prophets
of the Dark Side, in which the origins of Ken, the series'
eponymous Prince, are revealed.
"This book, as with Mission
from Mount Yoda, is less conspicuously awful and more downright
boring. It meanders through a less-than-thrilling plot line that
involves a variety of the one-dimensional characters from the
previous books in the series and continues the incessant use of
random and unbelievable plot points that seem to occur only to move
the story where the authors want it to go without actually
considering whether such a thing is plausible. There are many
examples of the poor writing in the book, such as: the Moffs being
put on trial for high treason and then receiving the most ridiculous
sentences; Luke dropping his lightsaber and not even trying to use
the Force to recall it, leading to his capture and then later using
the very technique that he neglected to use earlier in order to
retrieve his lightsaber from a glass cabinet that he could have
easily smashed with his fist; Ken yet again proving that, despite
his apparently complete knowledge of all Imperial and galactic
secrets, he is a complete moron by YET AGAIN accepting consumables
from the enemy that are laced with truth serum (see Zorba
the Hutt's Revenge for previous examples).
"There is, in reality, nothing at all to recommend this series.
I found it difficult to even keep an open mind whilst reading them,
since the writing just begs to be heckled. The Jedi
Prince series is, undoubtedly, the worst set of Star Wars books
I have ever read." |
