Or I, Jedi. Is having sex with a furry goat-like being any stranger than Corran Horn talking about how awesome it was to have sex with a humanoid feline? For the record, Selonians (the creature he apparently fucked) look like this.

Selonians are actually humanoid water mammals, more akin to an otter or shrew...

Though the difference between a human woman and a giant shrew is academic at best.

The new title for book 9 is confirmed: Apocalypse. As far as title's go it's a hell of a lot better then invincible. Given that Abeloth's still active, it means something big is gonna happen.

As a minor point, predictions regarding the establishment of the Fel Dynasty have been thrown into confusion.

The whole Jaina-Fel relationship seems to be fraught with problems.

Agreed; they should have just gotten fucking hitched at the end of TUF and we could have avoided the love-triangle bullshit that followed.

In fairness it's still partway through. They also did it because there was conflicting interest. On the plus it shows jaina maturing. I think it can still get back on track

I'm enjoying this series a lot. Really excited for the next book (Fate of the Jedi: Vortex).

I'm enjoying it for a couple of reasons.

1) Author cohesion. Unlike Legacy of the Force, the authors are definitely collaborating story-wise, character-wise, and even style-wise.

2) An interesting plot that goes beyond 'threat to everything'.

3) Good writing. I have yet to bang my head against the desk out of sheer stupidity, and the extraneous sessions, author favoritism, and character deaths are kept under control with one exception. And hell, Abyss is one of the only books to freak me out even a little bit.

I like the series a lot, essentially.
