Jude Watson is an amazing writer for teens, and she really gives them something to think about in this book. No doubt about it the fact that I'm an adult, but I think everyone can read her books and enjoy them (I have the entire Jedi Apprentice series, gotta love Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon! LOL). This book focuses on the love that is forbidden in the Jedi Code, and for good reason. I was glad to see a book where Qui-Gon explained his lvoe for Tahl. Obi-Wan, understanding this, was able to finally give up and let go of what he loved the most, in contrast to Anakin, who never would. Obi-Wan, is such a true Jedi, like Qui-Gon, where he sacrifices all to make the choices he must. Anakin cannot sacrifice his love for Padme' because it consumes him; in a sense, he possesses her, and that's what this book defines for people who read it. You come to understand why Padme' and Anakin's love is different than any other Jedi's even after in the New Jedi Order--it's about possession and power. It is almost as though he has to OWN Padme' to protect her. It explains so much of the future events. This book is a great read, and is really good. I hope everyone enjoys it. It makes Obi-Wan the Jedi he is, and it shows reasons why Anakin will never be the Jedi he should be.
