First, I should say that, unlike many people reading this book, I'd heard about the ending of the series before I even started reading. However, I think that spoiler is allowing me to enjoy the series more than I would have otherwise. Backlash builds the story very slowly. It's not even clear what the larger story arch is about. In retrospect, the Fate of the Jedi series probably takes too long to actually set up the larger threat. As such, much of Backlash might seem pointless. However, knowing what's coming ahead, I can tell you there is a point.

With that caveat, how is the book? For me, Backlash is where the Fate of the Jedi series began to lose its way. While some of the previous books were a bit slower, they did have some interesting character moments or plot points. I loved the relationship between Luke and Ben in Outcast and Omen. The Mind Walkers provided some great moments through reviving the ghosts of the past.

By contrast, Backlash takes place primarily on the planet Dathomir and not much seems to happen. Aaron Allston skims over characterization, even to the extent that he leaves major plot holes. For example, Luke and Ben cross paths with Han and Leia - and there's barely any reaction! Luke had been exiled for a decade and yet there's little emotion in their reunion. Ben has some great moments in solving puzzles, but Allston almost always ruins them by having somebody state, "Well, good thing you trained with the Galactic Alliance Guard", making Ben seem like a one-trick pony.

The plot also remains bogged down. For an absurdly large part of the book, Luke and Han take part in the Dathomiri equivalent of the olympics. Allana gets kidnaps and escapes from a crazy mechanic, pulling some utterly unbelievable feats, including flying the Falcon. Frankly, I never liked the Solo kids because they always seemed like "super kids", and I'd hoped Allana would avoid that fate, but no such luck.. Fortunately, the tension between Daala and the Jedi explodes out into the open. Still, there's not enough "there" there.

Overall, I do feel like the Fate of the Jedi series is getting lost. As much as I like seeing the characterization of Luke and Ben, there really isn't much in this book that's worth the price of admission. There's little character development, few action scenes, and the plot stalls. Thus far, this is my least favorite book in the series. I'm crossing my fingers that Allies proves better.
