I don't remember this book too well, which means it wasn't impressive, but it also wasn't horrible.The series is (finally) drawing to a close and a simple mission for Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, all contained in the one book! This led the story to be tighter, and the result was a better read :)
The Only Witness is the penultimate novel in the Jedi Apprentice series--not counting the two "special editions"--and, though this installment has some high spots, it's not up to the standard set by the previous books. Though the story was good, the writing was slightly inferior, and the ending was a bit shocking; too much so, in fact, for young children. It's a shame, though; the story had more twists and turns than most of the previous entries in the series. My only hope is that the eighteenth
Qui-Gon who is still hurting from the loss of his beloved earlier in the series is in a deep depression and has managed to alienate his apprentice by rebuffing all offers of help and comradeship. Both are nevertheless ordered to travel to a planet ruled by a powerful crime family and to escort an important witness, who possesses insider knowledge about the crime family's affairs to Coruscant.This is one of the books in the Jedi Apprentice series for younger readers. Unfortunately, as with many
Suitable for 8+ and those who have seen the films.Qui Gon is still in mourning so gets an easy mission from the jedi council, witness protection. Things aren't what they seem on the mafia style world where family is everything. A good character based read.
This one was a fast read, I saw other reviews saying it was short and I have to agree. It seemed like their were two story lines that intertwined throughout this book and I liked how Watson combined them into a story this small. The only reason I gave 3 instead of 4 stars was the cheesiness of the "actual" plot. Plot 1 was there's a widow in trouble who needs the Jedi's help to expose a criminal enterprise on a planet you'll forget as soon as you finish the book. She finds the evidence through
This is part of a series but is a one off and can be read on its own. In this one, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are sent to a planet where crime reigns supreme. Their mission is to protect a woman who has recently lost her husband. She has evidence to bring down the crime family of this planet ad put power back in the hands of the politicians.As for the mission itself I thought it was okay until the ending scene which totally surprised me and gave it a little extra "oomph" to the story. But that wasn't
