Hey this wasn't such a bad book people!? compared to crystal star it was brilliant!!! Michael Stackpole is one of the best EU writters around and this one was pretty good considering it was written only from the eyes of the doubtful corran horn. To those who read it once and dropped the book, i'd suggest you really read it slowly and not the speed reading way. Each book has its own flaws though and seriously, if you can only look at its flaws your not so good a reader as you once thought. No harm meant or anything, it's just that these books are pretty decent you really just have to go beyond
