<b><i><font color=red>Dark Journey</b></i></font> by Elaine Cunningham
<img src=http://www.theforce.net/books/images/dark-journey.jpg>
<b><font color=green>Synoposis</b></font>
<i>Though the Jedi strike force completed its deadly mission into Yuuzhan Vong territory, the price of success was tragedy: not everyone made it out alive. In a daring getaway, hotshop pilot Jaina Solo stole an enemy ship, taking along her fellow survivors--and leaving behind a huge piece of her heart.
With the enemy in hot pursuit, Jaina is forced to seek haven in the unprotected, unfriendly Hapes Cluster, where the Jedi are held responsible for a past tragedy--and where the royal family has grim plans for their famous Jedi guest. Even more sinister are the intentions of the Yuuvhan Vong, desperate to capture Jaina for a hideous sacrifice.
Grief-stricken and obsessed with revenge, Jaina is blind to these threats--and to the overpowering evil dangerously close to consuming her. In the coming conflagration, Jaina will be fighting not for victory or vengeance, but fore her very being . . .</i>

I'm giving "Dark Journey" a 7. It's not brilliant, but it's not horrible.

I loved it and read it twice. I really like Jaina's charactor. Was also interested in how she fell to the dark side and Kyp pulled her out and in return she help to break him free as well.

Definetely a five. It wasn't bad and I like Jaina but this book has very very very long passages and too less action. I've read it and perhaps there will be another time I'll reread it. But not yet.

well, I think it's a 6..
I don't think that Cunnigham did a very good job in telling us how Jaina "nearly" turned to the Dark Side... the style was poor..

Some of the action was good, but I didn't like the CoPL tie-ins or Cunningham's writing style. But more importantly, I don't like the way the EU has handled the dark side. In many books, but especially this one, the dark side seems to just be something that you can experiment a little with and come out just fine. Whatever happened to "once you start down the dark side, it will forever dominate your destiny?"

I liked a lot of Dark Journey. Tenel remembering that she was Jacen's true love, Jaina finding herself loved by 4 guys, and the former Queen-mother's power grab were all good.
What I didn't like? The rushed ending. Such a confusing closure.
I'd have to give it between ** and *** stars, so on the 1-10 scale, I guess I'll call it a 7.

I liked it pretty good, it's the one that I've read the most times of all the NJO.
But, then again, I love Jaina.
This was more like a novel than a SW story.

Jaina didn't go very dark though, no murdering sandpeople or anything.

I love this book! It is one of my favorites in EU. Jaina's leaning to the Dark Side was done very well. The whole beginnings of the Trickster scheme was great!
