More Corran Horn, Nen YIm, and Tahiri!,
By
This review is from: Star Wars: The New Jedi Order, the Final Prophecy (Book 18) (Book 18) (Hardcover)
One of my biggest disappointments with the New Jedi Order series is that it's tended to stay focused on the Big 3 (Han, Luke, and Leia) and the Solo kids. Some of my favorite books in the series were the ones that featured other Jedi characters or gave the Yuuzhan Vong characters a larger role. Greg Keyes' Edge of Victory books both did this well, and I'm glad he came back to the series to pen The Final Prophecy, especially after my disappointment with the Force Heretic books. This book focuses almost exclusively on Corran Horn and Tahiri's mission to Zonoma Sekot, along with three Yuuzhan Vong. The book has a fair amount of action, but what really makes it enjoyable is the characters. Keyes takes the opportunity to force the Jedi and Vong to talk, and the resulting dialogue is memorable. I'll never forget Corran and High Priest Harrar discussing their ethical codes, or Nen Yim and Tahiri debating the merits of the scientific method versus intuition. The conversations feel real and have just enough tension in them. Nom Anor is also back, although he dropped his pretense of being the Prophet a bit too quickly (the only part of the Force Heretic books I really enjoyed). Overall, I'm glad we got one more book like this before the grand finale, which I'm sure will feature the Big 3 again.
