I felt bad when Snoil the snail (as I call him) died...he just wanted to go home to mate...that was kinds a theme in this book, huh?

But the whole idea of the story just goes to show how deeply influenced by the war the Jedi have become... and by the dark side. The whole deception... but what else would they have done? How else would they have solved the problem without massive loss of life?

How else would they have solved the problem without massive loss of life? Yeah...they were really getting drawn in deep. I did like having Aasaj inthe story...brought the dark side in big time. The fight in the water was good. |

One of the things that struck me was that in the beginning of the book the mention that the cave spiders are non-sentient. They thought the same of the Dashta eels.
But in the end they find that both have intelligence.

Intellegence goes beyond what we think it is...

I like they way they recruited them... and how in the beginning there were prejudices that had to be eliminated before any training could begin.

Did it bother you that Anakin wasn't much in this book? I thought it refreshing...and to see Kit in a larger role.
