| Secrets of the Jedi / Jude Watson : 4 of 5 | |
|

 I've said it before and I'll say it again - Jude Watson really understands the Star Wars universe and its characters, and tells simply incredible stories! After finishing the Jedi Quest series (starring Obi-Wan and young Anakin), this novel came out as a special book before starting the new Last of the Jedi series (which I can't wait to get into). It's similar to Legacy of the Jedi in the way it follows several generations and weaves a single thread through a long timeframe. This time the topic is forbidden Jedi love! It begins with some of the heartache Qui-Gon feels after the death of Tahl (which was told in the Jedi Apprentice series), and then surprisingly moves to Obi-Wan's relationship with Siri, who had always been kind of a rival character in his youth. They make the right decision and push away their love for the sake of the Jedi, which stands in stark contrast to Anakin's secret wedding with Padme! The third part of the book involves Anakin and Padme, of course, and it's fun to see them in other Clone Wars action. The long action plot that pulls all of this together is pretty interesting, but truthfully it's the Jedi character interaction that makes this story so cool. Please ignore the fact that these are Scholastic kiddie books and just read them all!
