5.0 out of 5 stars I'm not sure how much more I could recommend this series!, February 27, 2008

This series has been a joy from the start. Watson is one of if not the most prolific Star Wars authors today. Even though this book is written for younger readers it is engaging for adults also. Master of Deception is no exception. M.O.D. continues the action packed and wonderfully developed story of Ferus Olin and his attempts to save the surviving members of the Jedi Order. You get a nice look into the Organa family as well as a young Leia. I'm only sorry that there is only one more book in the series.

Jude Watson does a nice job including believable twists and works cliffhangers infuriatingly well. As with most books in this series, there are pieces of the puzzle left unsolved, which will be resolved in a later book.

I had other things to do, but I chose to read this book instead. Work will wait. A fun, fast read is something to savor. As the cast of characters gets larger, it's hard to balance them all, but Jude Watson has done so remarkably well.

This review is from: Master of Deception (Star Wars: Last of the Jedi, Book 9) (Mass Market Paperback)

Watson continues to spin the perfect Young Adult tale. Plenty of core concepts but easy sentence structure. For the youth, it's perfect. For adults, a quick night's read. In this installment, many questions are answered. Is Leia discovered? Is Vader's true identity discovered? Are the rebels found? Why didn't Vader sense Leia on the DS as a force-adept? Why was Zan Arbor's science not reflected in later years? How far is Palpatine ready to go? What is life on Alderaan like? And a few don't get answered like: Is Flame Eve Yarrow? Is she to be trusted? And how does Twillight fit with Moonstrike?

A great read that advances the story along quite nicely.
