I can't get enough!

I must say, for being a children's book, this series has got me hooked! Ms. Watson has definitely done it again. Her story draws the ready in so deep you won't be able to put it down. In this book we get to rescue a lost Jedi Master on the planet of Ilum. Here you get a first person's view of the kind of "trials" a Jedi apprentice experiences. The imagery used is very stunning and could be "felt" at times. I enjoyed this story so much. You won't be disappointed!

Cooper Lewis' review.

I read The Last of the Jedi #2 : Dark Warning. Obi-Wan Kenobi is a former Jedi Master of the old Republic. He is secretive and doesn't use his lightsaber unless completely neccessary. Aslo, he doesn't like to endanger himself too much. Ferus Olin is a former Jedi Apprentice. He would do whatever it takes to bring down the empire. His Force connection is a little weak because he hasn't used it in a while. In the book, Obi-Wan and Ferus learn that another Jedi is still a live- Garen Muln. Garen is hiding in the caves of Illum where Jedi go to face their greatest fears and to get the crystals for their lightsabers. Meanwhile, Imperial Inquisitors are searching Palis Massa, where Padme gave birth to Luke and Leia! So, Ferus goes to Illum to get Garen and lightsasber crystals, and Obi-Wan goes to Palis Massa to stall the search. Ferus battles gundarks, his fears, and a fleet of Stormmtroopers to get Garen and the crystals. While stalling, The Inquisitor finds Obi-wan found out and the Inquisitor gets killed running away. The setting of the book is Illum and Palis Massa. The time is after Episode 3. The theme is bravery. I liked it because it was very climactic.

I can't wait for the next one!

This was a great edition to the Last of the Jedi series! I just couldn't put it down! A must read if you liked the first one. I thought that the parts about Polis Massa and Ilum added more twists to the book, and was a great idea on the part of Jude Watson. But, as I said before, you should read the other series first. It will help alot to clear the story up! If you are looking for a good book, read this one! (Make sure to read Last of the Jedi #1: The Desperate Mission first though) After you read this book, you probably won't want to wait for the next one to come out. I'll probably reread it while I wait for the next one! As I said before, this is a great book!

Who are the Last of the Jedi?

This series rocks. As the previous review said the writting is wonderful. The auther seems to nail each charactor perfectly. Who are the Last of the Jedi? Ferus Olin and his sidekick Trever have taken this task to find every last surviving Jedi no matter how dangerous it is. The seeds of rebellion all ready being planted. Obi Wan torn between helping his friends and making sure no one discovers Luke and Leia. Dark Warning is just as action packed and emotion (I cried when Ferus was standing in front of the Jedi Temple). I am now counting down the days until book #3 is released.

Wonderful New Series

I continue to be impressed with Jude Watson's writing. As an adult, these books fly by for me, but the writing never talks down to anyone. This series is especially enjoyable because it fills in some blanks for me about Obi-Wan's feelings about Anakin's turn to the dark side. We also get to hear from Qui-Gon. The best line from the book is, "If Luke is to rise, he must have somthing to join." Of course, this book is full of much action as the first one, but trust me, you'll like it.
