I'm torn by this. On one hand, there's an absolutely epic plot that definitely lives up to the Star Wars name, and some great individual moments (especially seeing the rise of Reluctant Jedi Nomi Sunrider). On the other hand, the story at times felt like it lacked a lot of emotional/character depth. With the fall to the dark side of Qel-Droma and Exar Kun, especially, it felt like it was happening because the plot demanded it rather than it being a logical step for the characters to take. Maybe I've been spoiled by other versions of that story, like the novel Traitor from the NJO era, but it really kept me from enjoying the story as much as I'd hoped to.

Still, if you're a fan of Star Wars, I'd definitely recommend reading the TOTJ omnibi, out of historical interest if nothing more.
