This review is from: Star Wars the New Jedi Order: Traitor (Library Binding)

Matt Stover is one of the most unique Star Wars authors out there, and he's delivered his style to the New Jedi Order series. Traitor is appropriately dark as the book focuses on Jacen's time in captivity with the Yuuzhan Vong. The torture Jacen undergoes is both cruel and subtle. Stover shows us the outcome of this torture in the choices Jacen makes throughout the book. Needless to say, some of the scenes are very "un-Star Wars-like." .. However, the real star of the book is Vergere, whose twisted views on the Force make her the most compelling character of the series. Her dialogue is clever, but never seems too clever, as if Stover was patting himself on the back. Overall, this is probably the best book of the series, and really takes advantage of NJO's darker aspects to explore our favorite characters in greater depth.
