Recently read Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor, i enjoyed, might be worth a read
also, Kucsidave doesn't like the Yevetha insulted, so watch out
I love those xenophobic maniacs and that's a fact, but you are free to tell your opinion on them.
I respect it either way. And yes, I also know that the black fleet crisis books were less than what it should have been.
It had many faults.
Even I had to struggle with them sometimes, but the parts with the Yevetha... those I loved. They finally made a competent villain whom were ruthless and enjoyed what they were doing, unlike the imps whom were just there to be an enemy.
And then came the way they implemented them... Yeash...
The largest problem was the pacing in my honest opinion.
So yeah. there you have it.
My problem with Before the Storm was not yevetha. First, the main characters acted weirdly. Leia really wanted Luke to watch her children for some reason, while Luke just wandered off. Secondly, the random storylines(Luke trying to find his mother, Lando's story) were annoying. I admit I never finished the book, but only because it was terrible and a bit weird.
I agree with those. And if you never finished that book, then don't even try to. That is sadly the strongest of the trilogy, and the second is the weakest.
If in a scale of 1-10 we give the first one a 6, then the second one should be a 2 or 3.
As I said, great idea of a new villain, poorly executed.
