So, no, I didn't give up reading for the holiday season, just haven't found time for blogging. I've been reading a lot of things, which I may tell you about, but next on the library shelf was the Young Jedi Knight series by Kevin Anderson and his wife Rebecca Moesta. The only bad thing I have to say about reading these books was that 2 of them were missing. Otherwise, I loved them. I had read the Shadow Academy series before but not the rest of them, and I was very happy to remedy that fault. If you have a young Star Wars fan in your house, these books are the perfect Christmas gift - they are clean, fun, and even have Boba Fett in them. It doesn't get better than that.
The series follows the adventures of Jacen and Jaina Solo, the twin children of Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo. They are studying at the Jedi Academy under Luke Skywalker, but they actually spend more time away from the Academy than actually there. Along with their friends Lowbacca (Chewbacca's nephew) and Tenel Ka (the heir to the Dathomir and Hapes systems) they have incredible adventures all over the galaxy that no parent would actually allow a 15-year-old to experience but which make for great reading. I highly recommend this series to all Star Wars fans, and particularly to the young ones. These books would make an excellent choice for parents who aren't quite ready to let their children watch the movies yet and who get asked every day when that decision will change. :)
