Description Toward Books The Dark Rival (Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice #2)

This is the second book of a series. I recommend reading the first book to know the plot. This series tells the relationship between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan as they become master and padawan. These books are meant for a younger audience.

I thought this book was a step up from the first book of this series. So far, the highlight of this series is the beginning of the relationship between the two jedi. I am enjoying the slow development of this relationship and it feels very natural. This is all set against a feud on a planet that has extensive mineral deposits. And in the middle of this feud is Qui-Gon's former apprentice who strongly dislikes his former master. This adds to the story as we get the contrast between the past and the future with Qui-Gon being the constant.

This book is what I expected from this series. Not earth shattering but entertaining and a quick read. They do add some nice information about characters before we meet them in the prequels.

Crit Appertaining To Books The Dark Rival (Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice #2)

The Dark Rival starts right where the Rising Force left off, completing the arc of the first two books. It centres around Qui-gon's need to let go of the past and focus on the future. Meanwhile of course Obi-Wan's quest for padawan status continues in his attempt at farming- Or just stealing some fruit, getting knocked out and sold into slavery. (Only Kenobi)Luckily for him, Qui-Gon gets it together in the end and the force sighs in relief. (Finally)

So far, Ive only read this and the first book, but Ive really enjoyed both. They arent amazing, by any means, but I thought this book, in many ways, was even better than the first. Im very much enjoying the relationship between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. Ive always loved both of these characters, and this middle grade-centric book series is capturing their personalities and (slowly-growing) friendship well. Im also loving the maybe-bad guy, XanatosQui-Gons long lost apprentice Padawan. Seems like they

3.5 starsAs I reread these for the first time since they were released, I am genuinely surprised at how well they hold up to my hazy but fond memories. Generally, when I return to a childhood book, I am struck by how shallow or weak it is now. These are by no means brilliant, but they are still fun and actually pretty smart apart from the oft dull, serviceable prose.In this one, Qui-Gon is still reluctant to take Obi-Wan as a padawan and Obi-Wan, soon to turn thirteen, is running out of time to

Very satisfying conclusion for the Bandomeer arc. I love seeing how Qui Gon and Obi Wan's relationship develops and the emotional payoff at the end of the story is very satisfying. I really enjoyed the scene where Qui Gon finally takes Obi Wan as his apprentice very much. This book also feels like it gives good insight into both Obi Wan and Qui Gon as people, despite the simplistic style and rather abrupt ending that is pretty common with these books (which I can't totally fault them for, as

This was 100% a nostalgia read, but I will say this was really lovely, rapid-paced without feeling like too fast or forced, and was such like a sweet bite of Star Wars knowledge and universe. I loved this series as a kid (it's what got me into reading more Star Wars books) and I still really enjoy it. Would love for this to come out in reprints!

I FORGOT ABOUT XANATOS. I forgot about Qui-Gon's completely trashy former padawan. I forgot that what the entirely questionable dynamic duo of Qui-Gon and young Obi-Wan needed was an even more questionable sexy evil apprentice that Jude Watson created for dubious motives. Anyway, for many of the same reasons as The Rising Force, The Dark Rival is a fun short read and a good nostalgia trip from my childhood. Thanks for being really weird, Jude Watson.
