Narration Concering Books The Dark Rival (Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice #2)
This is the second book of a series. I recommend reading the first book to know the plot. This series tells the relationship between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan as they become master and padawan. These books are meant for a younger audience. I thought this book was a step up from the first book of this series. So far, the highlight of this series is the beginning of the relationship between the two jedi. I am enjoying the slow development of this relationship and it feels very natural. This is all set against a feud on a planet that has extensive mineral deposits. And in the middle of this feud is Qui-Gon's former apprentice who strongly dislikes his former master. This adds to the story as we get the contrast between the past and the future with Qui-Gon being the constant. This book is what I expected from this series. Not earth shattering but entertaining and a quick read. They do add some nice information about characters before we meet them in the prequels.Details Regarding Books The Dark Rival (Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice #2)

I didn't really care about this book...NOT SO! I lie! Its awesome!! :DGood story but short, compared to The Rising Force, and Watson's writing wasn't enjoyable. So many short, monotanous sentences, and repetitive phrases.
5 starsGood book. Glad that Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan became Master and Padawan. Wonder if they will see Xanatos again.Can't wait to read more Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice novels!!!!!
Awwwwwww *I'm making this weird disgusting noise* Obi-Wan, you little chubby fluffy thing °~.▪¤The symbolism in this book astounds me, considering it is a junior young adult novel. About the symbolism, (view spoiler)[ the collar ring put around Obi-Wan symbolises the connection of past, presentation, and future, and seamlessly so. Whereas Xanatos C-shaped/disconnected ring represents how the past would meet the present but it never met, it never reconciled. And because of the explosive collar,
Well, this is definitely meant for young readers. It is an alright story, with an excellent message (don't let your past control you), but the recognizable characters, don't always ring true. Such as, a couple of times Obi-Wan sounded more like Han Solo than Kenobi. One could chock that up to youthful bravado, but I just cannot convince myself that 0bi-Wan could ever say "what could go wrong? trust me."Oh well, my son enjoyed it and he really wanted me to read it, and for that, I am glad I read
Upon a grown-up re-read, these are surprisingly still awesome. I am a 25 year old woman, and I stand by this statement.
I'm obviously having a moment with nostalgic Star Wars rereads!
