Physician, Heal Thyself
Avoid MedStar II. The characters have potential, but feel wasted in this novel, which takes along time to go nowhere fast. Plot lines are concluded with very little finality or satisfaction, overall the story does not feel engaging enough to capture your interest. Furthermore, the authors have an annoying tendency to want to use human events and colloquialisms, and stretch to find a way to use them in the Star Wars universe. Particularly egregious is the legend of the Kahylt that laid the rubat crystals, and the Clone Wars equivalent of the USO tour (does anyone truly think that based on how clones are generally regarding in other sources that anyone would even deign to set up a USO tour for them?). There was a elements of a good story in here, but trying to find them is like looking for a mynock in an asteroid.------------------------------------------------
