The Joiner King - Before she read it, and after she read it.

This is my review on Joiner King, with my first thoughts on reading the Spoilers written on message boards, the second part is my thoughts after reading the novel, with some opinion’s on some of the issue’s that have appeared in the book.

Before she read it

This is what sucks about Aussie’s getting books in latter than the US and/or the UK - You can very easily be spoiled on what goes on in the book - and there is really no excuse for this – we are an English speaking country after all…
Anyhow, this is to talk about Joiner King, well the spoilers I’ve seen anyway.
Well basically this book is set about five years after the New Jedi Order, and Luke is having trouble with his Jedi – again – to add to his problems with Cal Omas.
What pushes Luke into action is the Mykrr Jedi going south, and that where they meet the Killiks, and they are bugs, mate.
I’ve seen a full Summary Joiner King so I’m not going summarise things too much until I read the novel, but there are some issues that I have heard about that I really want to comment on but I will wait until I’ve read the book.

Not much of a Starter but hey.

After she read it

There are reasons why you shouldn’t read too many spoilers, and maybe I shouldn’t read any for Unseen Queen… Yeah right, I’m not that strong.

The Joiner King is a solid read, it is fast paced – no matter what other people say, yes it does take some time to get to the action scenes but the story is fast moving none the less.
I liked the book, it was good to get away from the PT after having an Anakin/Vader overload, er, check that, almost getting away from the PT. ;)
You get just about everything in the book – Bugs, Fights, Dark Jedi, Chiss, Padmé, Sex, what happened after war, Etc. and it’s a lot to take in.
However I did have a few niggles with this book – Some of the scenes were hard to follow and you had characters popping up from almost nowhere at times, that and a certain character couple.

But overall a good read. 7/10
