It's Been Awhile

Spoilers are rampant for the new Legacy book. I'll keep it simple and quote Darth Sidious:

"Everything is happening according to my plan." Or.... "I have foreseen this..."

Luke goes badass....he does....on Lumiya! Yay! He thinks Lumiya killed Mara and he takes revenge on her. He tracks her down and cuts her head off. Once again reminding us of just how much he holds back.

Mara makes peace with Kyp in this novel! YAY! They meet in a juice bar and Kyp offers to help her track Lumiya. She declines. She gets a com call from Ben and rushes off to see him. Kyp, again, gives parenting advice to her telling her to set limits. It's pretty funny how Kyp is offering parenting advice to Luke and Mara.

Traviss did a fine respectful job in giving Mara the finale she deserved. Mara fought Jacen/Caedus to the end. He got her with his trickery. It was very sad to read the reaction of both Ben and Luke.

This book made me like Mara more than ever!

Goofiest image of the book: (p. 266) Jacen sitting in his bathtub eating take-out food and writing Sith messages in the steam!

Okay...update: Today, February 23, 2008 I found I had taken notes while reading Sacrifice. So here are the notes:

p. 122 Jacen decides to destroy the Jedi Order

p. 209-210 Ben acts Very very very 14

p. 230 after the death of Jori Ben reflecs he is glad he feels and is not without emotion (this is a very sad part of the book, Jori gives his life and honor to protect Ben)

p. 234 A great discussion with Mom and Dad: "Are you angry with me?"

"How can I be after what I used to do? This is what made you. We wanted you to be like us... We wanted you to be a Jedi and do your duty."

p. 300 The Sith ship does see darkness in Ben...

Well we know later on just about everyone has the darkness....but isn't that true of all humanity?
