Queen
of the Empire
By Paul and Hollace Davids
Reviewed by Bones, UK:
Queen of the Empire sees a spectacular return to
form for Paul and Hollace Davids after the mediocrity of
Mission from Mount Yoda [...] This book is
impossible to read without laughing at it, in a similar
way to my being unable to write this review without
being sarcastic and scathing... read Bones' full

Mission
from Mount Yoda
By Paul and Hollace Davids
Reviewed by Bones, UK:
Mission from Mount Yoda actually raises the Jedi
Prince series slightly when compared to the previous
entries in the series. However, that is not necessarily
because it does anything good, but simply because it
does fewer things wrongly [...] Still nowhere
near satisfying, Mission from Mount Yoda does give a
glimmer of hope by being merely mediocre as opposed to
downright nonsensical... read Bones' full

Boba
Fett: The Fight to Survive
By Terry Bisson
Reviewed by Bones, UK:
This is an interesting start to the series. The
essence of Boba is captured very well, with child-like
naïveté accompanied by the inevitable sorrow, as well
as the intense desire to make his father proud and this
characterisation is the best feature of the book...

Boba
Fett: Crossfire
By Terry Bisson
Reviewed by Bones, UK:
There were two things done well in this book.
Fortunately, they are two rather large things [...] However,
there were quite a number of plot points that grated
[...] This book does well to maintain Boba's
portrayal from the last book, but the storyline is less
believable, which does detract, despite it being a
children's book... read Bones' full

Boba
Fett: Maze of Deception
By Elizabeth Hand
Reviewed by Bones, UK:
I was looking forward to see how Hand would
continue Bisson's characterisation of Boba Fett and if
she would be able to make the storyline a little more
believable than the previous book in the series
[...] On the whole, I was a bit disappointed
[...] Overall, unimpressed. It lacked believability,
as with the last book. Yes, they are written for
children, but just because the audience is younger,
continuity and credibility don't have to be
sacrificed... read Bones' full

The
Clone Wars
By Karen Traviss
Reviewed by Pedro, UK:
The film the novel is based on wasn’t brilliant
and quite a letdown [...] so I was hoping reading
the novel would give me the same events in totally
different experience [...] Traviss managed to
change a film made for children into an enjoyable adult
book, raising many interesting points, and including
plenty of action. I would recommend this to anyone who
has seen all the films, even if they didn’t see The
Clone Wars film... read Pedro's full

Coruscant
Nights: Street of Shadows
By Michael Reaves
Reviewed by Bones, UK:
The Coruscant Nights saga continues with this
noir-esque romp in the seedy underground of Imperial
Centre [...] I thought that it opened well, but
sadly the book lost any momentum from the opening and
dwindled into tedious mediocrity rather quickly...

The
Lost City of the Jedi
By Paul and Hollace Davids
Reviewed by Bones, UK:
There are too many things about it that are just
so silly that it's amazing that anyone ever thought they
would be acceptable [...] Too much silliness, too
much inappropriate characterisation and a total lack of
thought make this a poor and unsatisfying read...

Zorba
the Hutt's Revenge
By Paul and Hollace Davids
Reviewed by Bones, UK:
This book is full of examples of unsavoury
writing, from a crime lord that interrogates using
cookies and milk to Lando and Zorba spit-shaking. This
series hasn't deviated, as yet, from its meagre
beginnings. The premise of Zorba's revenge would have
been intriguing, had it been handled properly...
