I was never able to fully get in the story. The plot was a little smooth, the character were good but nothing very special or original about them and I thik that the most negative point for me was that the story happen to far back in time, 25 793 BBY (the Star Wars fan's will understand), so the time distance, in my case, didn't help at all to get in the story and to feel in the Star Wars universe's. So, not bad, but not really good either, I hope there is better Star Wars books out there!!
