Instead of a buildup to the finale, it's just more of The Glorious Heroics of Boba Fett I can't help but feel that Fett is traininng Jaina not to have her as prepared as possible, but to shoehorn even more Fett/Mando into the LOTF storyline. If this was a story of the Skywalker family, why not have Jaina with Luke and Ben, or her parents? As a casual reader of SW fiction, I was disappointed that they've been scattered about for so many books.

Wait...didn't you just say that you hadn't read it and had no intention of buying it in the Spoiler thread? If you did read it, fair play, but if people are just chucking in numbers having not read it the book, it sort of makes a review thread pointless. If you did read it, I apologize, but that doesn't jibe with what was said in the Spoiler thread. "I've usually picked up the MM in this series the first day of release. After looking through this one, I changed my mind. As much as it pains me to say this, I'll wait for Revelation to show up at Half Price. Why would I choose to not help my store's business?" So, basically, you flipped through the book?
AnnLouise posted: I started reading each chapter, and - it's not really speed reading, but skimming down each page, and also reading through whole chapters, then going back and rereading some of the skimmed stuff. I didn't comment on it before today, because I was reading it before the actual release date. So no, I wasn't just picking it up today and deciding not to buy it because of what I just read today on my lunch break. I'd been tossing around the buy/not buy decision since we got it in last week. .
