SPOILERS: I am undecided on this series. At times I have enjoyed reading them, at other times, I actually put the book down for awhile before I came back to it. This whole idea that a next of insects are posing a threat to the galaxy seems trival to me. After the Vong, can insects truly pose a massive threat? Also, this thing with Zelek and Jania is old, and their joiner thing reminds me more of a Vulcan mind meld then of Star Wars. Finally, anyone shocked that Tenal and Jacen had a baby?
I have liked the inner struggle that seems to be going on that the Jedi are struggling with regarding serving the Force or serving the Galatic Alliance. Also, the anything goes concepts seems to be becoming challenged by Luke himself. However, the breakdown of the masters with Luke being out of communication was disturbing. Have these Jedi Masters learned nothing from the past about having the order tied too much in with being the enforcing arm of the political leadership of the Alliance/Republic?
So though I have some issues, overall I like some of the themes that Denning is showing in the development of the Jedi Order.
