Luke/Ben: Their plotline was definately interesting, although I'm getting a little tired of Force-philosophy. However I do like how the Jedi phsychosis is getting more enigmatic. And this leads me to...

Chapter 22: It was very cool to see these characters again, but it left me pretty confused. Anakin lived happily ever after (okay I got that), Jacen didn't (Well, that sucks...) and Mara is half and half (what the heck?!). I always thought that Force-User-wise you became one with the Force or you didn't depending on your choice (Light or Dark) and there's no in between. I know it's been blurred by books like Traitor, but I don't see any reason Mara should be suffering, she made her choice (Light) and that should be that.

Mandos: I for one was surprised these guys showed up, although Denning portrayed them nastily as usual. The part where the two Mandos escape with their X-Ray thing and the others stay behind was handled in a very biased way. If it were the Jedi, Denning would say the group was heroic, staying behind while the others escaped. I wonder if Boba Fett or Mirta will show up?

Jain/Jag: I hate to say it, but I see rough waters ahead...

Sith: I enjoyed them for the most part, except for the last few chapters. The part where the elevator opens and Luke stabs one and shoots the other was ridiculous. How could a Sith be that dumb. They were getting cut down left and right...

Han/Leia/Allana: These were probably my favourite scenes. It's nice to see them just being a normal (for the most part) family.

Yeah, all the Force dithering is getting old. It's starting to feel a little too old Jedi Order.
And as much as I loved the whole Beyond Shadows bit, I felt that Mara was out of character. Would the Mara we know really have been spending her death pondering whether she went after Jacen with a Jedi outlook? Don't think so.
