    Sound ending to Fate of the Jedi
  

*by A***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 27, 2013*

A little over a decade ago the folks responsible for overseeing the Star Wars Expanded Universe decided to embrace sprawling multi-author epics as the center of the adult fiction line. While there have been various standalones and short series since the late 1990s, much of Del Rey's focus has been on multi-year publishing events. This trend started with the New Jedi Order's nineteen books, continued with the nine volumes of Legacy of the Force, and now possibly concludes with the nine entries in Fate of the Jedi. While there are plenty of good stories and side plots contained within these thirty-seven novels, none of the three epics has offered a substantial enough storyline to warrant being spread across so many books. I've been reading the entire Expanded Universe using the in-universe chronology and getting to Apocalypse feels like a weight lifting.The great news for Fate of the Jedi is despite its being stretched thin over too many books, the three authors have presented a highly consistent and generally very interesting tale. With Apocalypse, Troy Denning does indulge himself with some of his pet Star Wars creations: the insectile Killiks are wedged into the story and the not-very-relevant saga of the Barabels and their eggs comes to an end. But overall he follows right along with what the eight preceding volumes have established. Unlike his conclusion to Legacy of the Force, this book does not feel rushed and the length is warranted as he brings various plots to a close.Summarizing Apocalypse seems a tad pointless: I would hope no one will pick it up without having read the rest of Fate of the Jedi and anyone who is already following along with the series will certainly finish with this final volume. But I'll mention a few things that were of particular interest to me. The book's pacing is solid: Mr. Denning does an admirable job of building multiple cascading action sequences as Abeloth's various avatars are dealt with. There's a real tension to the events on Coruscant as the Jedi infiltrate the Sith-run government and position themselves for the final conflict. Boba Fett swings into action with highly unlikely ally Tahiri in a gripping assault on Imperial labs.One surprise in Apocalypse ties directly into one of the more cryptic story arcs of the Clone Wars television series. As a fan of that show, I was absolutely delighted at how the open-ended nature of the episodes in question dovetailed so neatly into the mystery of Abeloth. This cross-pollination of Star Wars stories is something I welcome for the heightened consistency and air of reality it gives to the galaxy far, far away. Mr. Denning uses the foundation those episodes offered and also utilizes the mysteries of the Maw and Centerpoint Station to give Abeloth quite a bit of interest. Her entire arc has a fantastical air about it considering her ancient lineage, her generically named locales (the Pool of Knowledge, for instance), and her seemingly almost limitless abilities. However, the authors have tied her sufficiently to key elements of the Star Wars universe for her to feel a true and reasonably grounded part of it.I found Vestara Khai's arc somewhat disappointing when evaluating the series as a whole. The obvious paths were for her to either stay a Sith or be "redeemed:" in Apocalypse, one of these two options comes true and there's not much surprise about it. Her relationship with Ben Skywalker does seem to be fertile ground for future novels to play off of: whether that's the case remains to be seen, since at this point no one outside of the people making the movies knows whether the movie Episode VII will be set after these books and whether it will take anything in the Expanded Universe into consideration. Vestara did have some good sparring with Ben and their relationship matured him further as a Jedi: I simply would have liked to see a little more surprise in her ending. Perhaps that is yet to come.The book also features a very nice nod to the Legacy comics in the form of an unexpected ally for Luke in his final battle. Like the Clone Wars tie-in, it's welcome to see the novels embracing other forms of Star Wars storytelling and making the sprawling universe more unified. There is still substantial mystery around Allana Solo's future and the various competing visions for who will sit on a throne overseeing the galaxy, but Fate of the Jedi does set some of the stage for the Legacy comics and also leaves plenty of room for yet more stories set in the intervening years. While not at the height of his Star Wars masterpiece Star by Star, Mr. Denning delivers a very solid conclusion to Fate of the Jedi with Apocalypse.

    A Thrilling Conclusion To A Great Series
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 3, 2012*

For eight books, the "Fate of the Jedi" series has told of the battles between the Sith and Jedi.  Now, in "Apocalypse", the series has reached its thrilling conclusion.  This time, Coruscant is the battlefield.  Abeloth, the destructive force being who has menaced Luke Skywalker for most of the series, has entrenched herself in the Jedi temple.  Now, the Jedi must fight their way though thousands of Sith to reclaim their temple.But, victory is not guaranteed, for Abeloth has the ability to take on more than one persona at a time.  Therefore, in order to completely kill her, Luke and the other Jedi must kill every manifestation of Abeloth.  Plus, Abeloth has her sights set on Ben and Vestara, hoping to lure them in to restore balance to the Force.  But is Vestara really over her Sith background, or will she betray Ben and Luke and return to her former ways?  And what of Luke?  will he be able to kill Abeloth before it's too late?I've been a fan of this series since the beginning, and I have been eagerly awaiting the release of "Apocalypse".  It was worth the wait.  Troy Denning has written perhaps the best book of the series.  The action is fast-paced right from the beginning, and he does an excellent job of bringing all of the outstanding story lines together.  I've been particularly interested in Ben and Vestara's story from the beginning, and Denning does a good job of bringing their story to a conclusion.  Suffice it to say that sometimes love isn't enough.I enjoyed this book very much and I'm sad to see this series come to an end.  However, I believe that there could be a future series with the same characters that expands on the ending of this one.  I certainly hope so.  Highly recommended.

    Great ending to a mediocre series
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 28, 2012*

As a somewhat obsessed Star Wars fan, I try to keep up with all of the Star Wars book releases. Some of course are better than others. Reading through the New Jedi Order, I would read a book in a couple days and couldn't wait to get my hands on the next book. The Legacy of the Force series of books would take me a few days to read, and I would pick up the new volumes within a month of their release. The Fate of the Jedi books often took me weeks to read, and sometimes it took me a few months to even pick up the newest addition to the series.It's not that I didn't like the FOTJ series. It simply didn't capture my attention like the NJO had, or less-so the Legacy of the Force series. Most of the books were ok, full of lots of filler with little bits of actual plot thrown in every once in a while. This series almost ruined Sith for me as they are no longer menacing but a bunch of bumbling idiots, but I always found the Abeloth character interesting though it took far too long to learn anything about the mysterious creature.This book fixed a lot of those problems for me. I've always been a fan of Troy Denning. A lot of fans strongly dislike his works because they are often darker than other Star Wars authors, and of course he is the one who killed Anakin Solo in his excellent book "Star by Star." This book, more than any others in the FOTJ series, contains a coherent, and exciting plot. Denning portrays the Sith in a much more threatening manner than did the previous novels. The Jedi actually seemed threatened by them, and some Jedi are killed. Vestara's reversion to the dark side is handled much better than in the previous novel, and her continual care for Ben allows her to remain a sympathetic character through out most of the book.Finally the origin and nature of Abeloth is revealed. I was pleased with the explanation and Abeloth is a much more interesting character than I had previously thought. Though I do think that if the nature of Abeloth were known earlier her character would have been more intriguing than the continual mystery played off in earlier books. I loved the Mortis series in the Clone Wars, as I see it as one of the most creative and intriguing works in the Star Wars universe. Thus, the tie in here with Clone Wars came much to my delight. It's great that Star Wars authors are concerned with Clone Wars continuity. Unfortunately, the Clone Wars writers aren't as concerned with EU continuity.The mysterious sith figure revealed to Luke did seem a little out of place in the novel and seemed to come out of nowhere. However, it does leave one wondering about the nature of this figure for future novels. So long as this plot is kept in future series, this may be a necessary inclusion. The assumption of many is that this figure is Krayt from the Legacy comics. If this is the case, I am eager to see how it all plays out.The best part of this book is the ending Jaina and Jag are finally married! Fans have been waiting for this for a long time, and I for one am glad that Jaina did not end up with Zek. As much as I enjoyed the Dark Nest series, it  made Zek's character nearly unbearable. No more worries about Jaina's love life, the two are finally together, and I think in a well written and clever manner, Jag is no longer the ruling figure of the Empire.If you are sick of the FOTJ series, don't give up on it, but give this book a chance. It may give you a new found hope for the future of the Legacy era novels.
