I haven't been able to say that a lot with this series so this collection did accomplish something more than other offerings. I liked this collection and it did entice me that I want to read the next collection. There were some issues and pages where I loved the artwork. The second half deals with the Nihil and what I feel like is more of a threat to the galaxy. As for the story I liked the second half more than the first half and I am really curious to where it is going. In fact, I am starting to have a nice connection with the main character.

Much better - which was consistent with the initial volume - was the starring role of young Jedi Knight Keeve Trennis, who again narrates the two storylines. against an adversary who was about as threatening as Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors - it seemed to run on just a little too long, although (believe it or not) a few out-of-left-field sex jokes made me chuckle. Although an action-heavy storyline - including an indelible two-page spread of dozens of light saber-wielding Jedi Knights jumping into battle. 2) picks up and continues immediately from where the previous volume concluded, which I'm not sure was an altogether good thing.
