Star Wars - Young Jedi Knights - The Emperor's Plague
Kevin J. Anderson, Rebecca Moesta
- Reading
- Read together or check in after the battle and the confrontation with Tarkona. This gives you a chance to gauge how the danger feels to your reader without assuming how intense the scenes are.
- Themes
- Responsibility and teamwork: The young Jedi and their allies must work to prevent the plague from being released. The mission places responsibility on the young characters, but the overview does not show how the story evaluates their choices or teamwork.
- The Diversity Alliance: Nolaa Tarkona leads the Diversity Alliance, whose forces are in conflict with New Republic soldiers; Tarkona seeks the hidden plague. The overview presents the Alliance as part of the conflict, but does not establish how the book portrays its beliefs or members beyond this role.
- Worth knowing
- The plot involves a potentially devastating plague, a massive battle and a described lethal hired fighter. The intensity of these scenes and how much harm is shown remain unclear.
