Despite some flaws, I really liked this book. We start out where 'Defenders of the dead' has left us: On Melida/Daan, a planet trying to break free form centuries of civil war. Obi-Wan has decided to forfeit his jedi training and stay on the planet to help build a new government while Qui-Gon returns to Corrusant, determined to never again take on a padawan. And here is where I found the book a little irritating. Although it was entirely Obi-Wan's decision to quit his apprenticeship, the blame is put on Qui-Gon by the other jedi masters. It's true, he could improve his communication. Maybe he shouldt have tried to put himself in the shoes of a 13-year-old suddenly swept away into a revolution led by kids his own age. But still, it wasn't his decision, so he shouldn't be treated as the only one 'responsible' for it. But this issue didn't spoil the book for me, there are so many things I liked about it. The 'Lord of the flies'-like situation on Melida/Daan, children trying to set up a working government angovernment, dealing with shortages of ressources and new outbreaks of violence... I really liked this narrative and wanted know what would happen nett. The second plot, the series of thefts at the temple, held my attention as well and kept me turning the pages. This was partly due to suspense, but also to my interest in watching the development of a seemingly minor character: Thal, the jedi rescued from captivety in the last book, who has to adjust to living without her eyesight.
