A Great Series Comes to a Great Ending

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, two strong-willed powerful boys began training at the Jedi temple and found themselves destined for rivalry. Anakin Skywalker -- destined to become Darth Vader and Ferus Olin, destined to leave the Jedi Order in search of other things. The Jedi Temple is gone now -- the Jedi themselves are all but extinct. The rivalry, however, remains -- for Ferus Olin has learned the truth of Darth Vader and is determined to bring him down. Meanwhile, the quest to bring together a galactic resistance to the Empire continues, but there's a spy in the midst threatening to destroy everything. We've all been waiting for that final confrontation between Ferus Olin and Darth Vader, and let me just say -- Jude Watson has some surprises in hand! Who will end up where when everything shakes out? You'll have to read to find out, but I guarantee it's going to be a fun ride. If you've been following "The Last of the Jedi" series, then this is exactly what you've been waiting for. And you haven't yet joined in on the fun, now is the time, as you can now read the full series, from beginning to end. Find out why these novels -- seemingly targeted at kids -- are so much more than they seem on the surface.

Last of the Jedi series

This has been the best series. It takes me about a day to whip through these books. I love them, and I really love the Star Wars saga. Jude Watson has a fantastic style of writing, and even though the age group targeted is much (much) younger than I am, it doesn't stop me from total enjoyment. I am never dissatisfied with the plot, character development, or the writing. I would love a longer book...

Five Stars - spoilers follow

Another excellent installment of the Last of the Jedi series. This series is so wonderful. It packs so much into each books emotion, action and keeps you turning pages (unlike Legacy of the Jedi) and wishing the books would come faster and keep hoping there will be more after book ten. Ferus finally returns to his orginial mission which is locating any Jedi who may have survived the Purge. I'm glad since this was his orginial plan before he came up on Palpatine and Vader's radar. The last book and this one Ferus has been waiving. Struggling to remain a Jedi but its been getting harder and harder with Vader out to get him and Palpatine messing with him. You can feel Ferus waiving and then Obi Wan contacts him and that gets him back on track. You can almost feel Obi Wan knew Ferus was waiving and needed someone to remind him why he was in the middle all this in the first place. Obi Wan gives him what he needs to contiune his mission and even discusses with Obi Wan possiblities of Jedi who survived through reports that were put together about any people doing any unusual or Jedi like things including a toddler on Alderaan which Ferus dismisses out hand and natural worries Obi Wan enough to send Ferus right to Alderaan. It of course ends right there leading us to wait and wonder what's going to happen next. I love this series.
