Jedi Quest 7: The Moment of Truth / Jude Watson : 3 of 5

Another excellent story in the Jedi Quest series, with much more focus on exactly what's going on in Anakin's head. The story is fairly interesting, but it really doesn't matter, since to me the stories are just a backdrop for the author to crank out these fantastic characterizations. Every time she stops in the middle of battle to talk about what Obi Wan or Anakin are thinking is just wonderful - these are the kind of moments that you can't get in the movies! In this story Anakin is drugged by the bad guy (whom we find out is another cross-over from Jedi Apprentice!) so he's numb to his emotions, and he realizes how tormented he usually is by guilt and other pressures. He even has a real Gethsemane moment when he cries to Obi Wan that he doesn't want to be the Chosen One! The pacing of this story was a little off - the last few chapters read like the author realized she was running out of paper or something. But overall, it's another book in the series that always keeps me wanting more!
