A must-read for every fan of Star Wars fiction and the New Jedi Order series in particular! It is a dark time for the New Republic. The Yuuzhan Vong, despite some recent losses, continue to advance into the Core, and continue their relentless hunt for the Jedi. Now, in a desperate act of courage, Anakin Solo leads a Jedi strike force into the heart of Yuuzhan Vong territory, where he hopes to destroy a major Vong anti-Jedi weapon. There, with his brother and sister at his side, he will come face to face with his destiny--as the New Republic, still fighting the good fight, will come face to face with theirs...

So I somehow forgot that the entire voxyn storyline - from their introduction to their destruction - is in this one book. Like. The threat and significance almost doesn't seem real because they're introduced and we immediately have a strike team going after them and they're eliminated by the end of the book. Also what even is the timeline of this novel? I feel like it should be weeks or months, but in reality is just a couple of days? 

There a couple of moments in this book that really hit me in the feel - mostly involving Jaina because she's my girl but also Leia's speech - but for the most part I was just trying to get through it so I could move on to Dark Journey aka my favorite SW book of all time.
