I've started my book, which is a bit shorter than I'd expected - although, to be honest, that's kind of nice because it feels like I'm doing more reading than I actually am.
Race to Crashpoint Tower feels very much like it's aimed at a younger audience - all of the characters are young, the Jedi Masters are conspicuous by their absence, and the Padawans (and one very young Knight) are doing things and solving problems. There's not a lot of subtle machinations going on; the problems are immediate - get a message out, get out of a certain location, etc. I'm enjoying it, particularly the droid who gets some unconventional upgrades...
I'm also finding that this is filling some of the gaps in the other novel that I read about the attack on the fair, because it's giving perspectives from minor characters who were mentioned in the other novel but didn't get page time. Unfortunately, it also doesn't appear to be the first novel to focus on the majority of these minor characters, so I'm still behind the curve...
