I can't stand Jacen, and Vergere gets annoying after a while, so a 3. I had to force myself to keep reading until the last part of the book with Ganner's Last Stand, which wins a place in my top listing of coolest moments in literature.
I kept wishing that Jacen would somehow manage to kill himself, but to no avail.

Definitely a ten, I think this was the first NJO book to really impress me after reading the Edge of Victory duology and Star by Star. (Though Rebel Dream and Rebel Stand were as servicable as the X-Wing novels).
Plus, Stover forging Jacen into a more likeable character helped ease the blow of Anakin's death.
Best Star Wars book ever written.

Before I read this book, I never really liked Jacen's character. Now, thanks to Matthew Stover, Jacen is one of my favorites. I used to hate how Jacen tried being a complete pacifist and how he was always thinking and never acting or talking. He's still that way after this book somewhat but now he's transformed into a much cooler character. Some people might be bothered by all the philosophy in this book but I rather enjoed it. It is by far the most philosophical NJO book. I also enjoed how Stover made me like Ganner. In contrast to hating Jacen's former pacifism, I always hated Ganner's showmanship. At the end he was a real Jedi, one who didn't care about showing off.
Best NJO book by far.

I'm not a Jacen fan, but this was pretty good. It really made me think. All the concepts about pain were very interesting.

Unfortunately, Traitor was the only SW novel (and one of two books ever) I couldn't finish - I found it incredibly boring. Jacen's mindscape just didn't hook me.

Great book. Ganner is the man. Vergere got annoying after awhile. And i never have been a big fan of Jacen, but he was still cool in this. Best NJO IMO.

10, I loved this book. Even before I read this book I always had a view of the Force similar to Vergere's, so it was nice to hear it in book form. One of my favorite SW and NJO books

I LOVED this book, but it gets a 9. I mean, Vergere just seems too incredible plus Ganner sort of materialized. Vergere seems to make everything happen and gets everything she wants done and that sort of thing. I loved Jacen's growth and the philosophical quotes are awesome, I'll always remember this book. I loved the pretend hero suddenly destroying hundreds of Warriors and becoming something near a god to them in the future...
