Publisher's summary

Chief of State Natasi Daala has been overthrown, and the Jedi Order has taken control of the Galactic Alliance. But while the new governors dismantle Daala’s draconian regime, forces still loyal to the deposed official are mobilizing a counterstrike. And even the Jedi’s new authority may not be enough to save Tahiri Veila, the former Jedi Knight and onetime Sith apprentice convicted of treason for the killing of Galactic Alliance officer Gilad Pellaeon.

Meanwhile, Luke and Ben Skywalker are relentlessly pursuing Abeloth, the powerful dark-side entity bent on ruling the galaxy. But as they corner their monstrous quarry on the planet Nam Chorios, the two lone Jedi must also face the fury of the Sith death squadron bearing down on them. And when Abeloth turns the tables with an insidious ambush, the Skywalkers’ quest threatens to become a suicide mission.

You know who you are...

So I’ve read and listened to a large swath of the Star Wars cannon, 60 odd books. I love every title. So my thoughts and opinions are jaded by my feelings for this universe. But if you’re into Luke Skywalker and Jedi you can’t go wrong with the Fate series.

Full series review. So SPOILERS

I know I’m jaded but....

The Fate of the Jedi series delivers on everything you’d expect from a great story. Luke Skywalker along with his son Ben, set out to solve a simple mystery. Why did Jacen fall? And then....so much greatness happens. EU threads I’d forgotten about (Calista for one) are resolved in a fluid and natural way. Every single character has a unique personality (flaws and all). My favourite character Saba Sebatyne gets to shine in this series. Although she’s not the only one. Almost every EU character gets a role. (The ones they miss have Mercy Kill). And then there is Aboloth. The freaking scariest Star Wars villain ever. And every time I read the chapter in Apocalypse that explains her relationship to the Father Son and Daughter (from the Clone Wars Mortis trilogy) gives me chills every damn time. And Rynar Thul’s sacrifice. Damn. What a story.

PS Disney? I’d buy an unbridged version of EVERY Legends novel. That’s just $$$$$$$$ for you. You have the rights. Why not?

Dull and Boring...

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Only the most hardcore fans will like this book. I'm a big fan, but I found it to be one dimensional and lackluster.

Has Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Conviction turned you off from other books in this genre?

No because I know there are better books out there.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Marc Thompson?

Daniel Davis

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment and a sincere lack of interest

Any additional comments?

Try Star Wars: Darth Plaqueis

Disney ruined the sequel

Sad that I’ll never get to read sword of the Jedi, as Disney took it away from us all.

The story continues...Riveting!

“Conviction” is exciting, intriguing, and very entertaining. It is very well written and the audio narration by Marc Thompson is awesome as always.

Conviction

This book is not as adventurous as other novels in this series. It does tie stories together. Of course with one book to go, I will listen to last one too

Far from the best in the series

I suspect this is some kind of transitional book?... or maybe its just not as good as I hoped it would be. Anyway - I love Star Wars and can forgive a lot but this just seemed to ramble on. The sheer amount of cross plot information left me a bit confused and overwhelmed. I felt like some of the story could have easily been tapered down and made far more simple and to the point. The important things are lost in too much writing. Bouncing from one place to another only to have it support a small bit of plot... meh. I'll wait for the next one and hope its better!

The story and relationships

Loving every second of this series and so many more to go it’s such a good story it’s really cool seeing Luke and Ben’s relationship and seeing Bens character, mature, and seeing similarities in Ben and luke
And I love seeing the path Jason took, all the emotions are so intense.
me and my wife are so invested in this.
