On Borrowed Time series Library Lover’s Mysteries

This is the Dawn of the Jedi: where many races have been forcibly brought to the Tython system for unknown reasons, unable to escape; where the use of a hyperdrive is uncommon; where a Sith can be a Jedi Master and your local police chief; where the Jedi walk a line between light and darkness that would make the Masters of Yoda’s time cringe. The galaxy is a very different place.

I went into this book without any previous knowledge of the Dawn of the Jedi series of comics. INTO THE VOID takes place 25,000 years before the events of the films, which makes it the earliest book on the timeline by a very wide margin. We follow Jedi Ranger Lanoree Brock (written as Je’daii in the books), as she travels the Tython System looking for her long lost brother, Dal, whom the Jedi Order believes has joined a cult with aspirations for escaping the system and rejoining the galaxy at large. This cult’s current plan: to reactivate an ancient hypergate with highly unstable dark matter, enough that the entire system could be destroyed if a problem were to occur. And given that this alleged hypergate is tens of thousands years old, a problem seems likely. As Lanoree follows in her brother’s wake, we also get extended glimpses into her childhood, her path to becoming a Jedi Ranger, and just how things went so wrong for her brother.

This was a tough book to rate as far as stars, because when the book is good, it’s really, *really* good, but it does drag significantly in places. As far as strengths, the worldbuilding of this book is absolutely fantastic. Lebbon is able to build settings that live and breathe and have their own quirks that set them all apart. This is a really important thing for me, that I can visualize the various exotic locations that Star Wars is capable of turning out, and this book sports some of the best that I’ve read so far. In addition, the Great Journey flashbacks are wonderfully realized, as Lanoree and Dal make their way through unforgiving lands to learn from the Jedi Temples scattered across Tython. Each temple has its own unique feel that corresponds with the lessons the “Journeyers” are being taught. These sections of the book were done very well. I’m not sure how much of the worldbuilding was Lebbon’s and how much came from the comic writers, but what is here is exceptional.

Other little things that stood out: the Jedi in this book are most definitely *not* the ones we’re all used to. These Jedi have a mean streak and aren’t afraid to dabble with the dark to achieve their ends. Their overall purpose is to bring peace to the Tython System, and they are more likely to trend towards charity than maliciousness, but a few scenes had me wide-eyed and wondering if the Sith Lords of the galaxy’s later years couldn’t learn a thing or two from these Jedi. I also liked how INTO THE VOID dealt with a Jedi who had made up his mind to not use the Force, and his justification for doing so. It was interesting to see a Jedi argue *against* the use of the Force, and his reasoning was actually something I could buy into. Those moments made me realize Lebbon was attempting to go above and beyond to provide a unique Star Wars adventure.

There was a point in the book where I was absolutely ready to give this book five stars, but I did have a few hangups with INTO THE VOID. For one, a lot of this book is strictly third-person limited narration and dialogue is disappointingly sparse. I typically frown upon this in Star Wars books, when I’m just waiting and waiting for someone to just say anything. Character interactions enforce our image of the main characters, but when no one’s talking, and all we have are Lanoree’s thoughts to go on, things start to drag. It’s a boon to the novel that Lebbon’s writing is so vivid, but he still manages to fall into the trap of going off on tangents, providing exposition on things that, at times, have absolutely no bearing on what’s happening in front of Lanoree.

I also feel like, despite the worldbuilding, there are a lot of things lore-wise that should’ve been covered. This book is supposed to serve as an introduction to the Dawn of the Jedi setting, but I don’t believe enough was done to really establish the main premise for those of us who haven’t read the comics. For instance, the cult that Lanoree’s brother aligns himself with, the Stargazers, are seeking away to escape the Tython system by activating a hypergate. The entire time I was reading the book, I was saying to myself, “Wait, no one can leave the system? Why?” The lack of knowledge of the setting sort of undermines the story of the book at times. Is there hyperdrive at all? How does the HoloNet exist at this point in time? How are all of these worlds habitable in the Tython System? Why are all of these races trapped in this system in the first place? With all the effort Lebbon did in creating the backdrop and the lore for the immediate story, the setup and introduction to Dawn of the Jedi are virtually nonexistent. Which could definitely be a problem for some.

I also think the present tense sections could’ve been handled with a little more grace. I got used to it eventually, but at the onset, the constant switching back and forth between present/past tense was a little grating.

If you’re able to make a few allowances, INTO THE VOID is a very strong novel; enjoyable, fun, and clipped along at a nice pace. There are moments that are every bit as memorable as those from other EU entries, and the visual descriptions and worlbuilding are some of the best in the series. But it falters in terms of properly introducing readers to this brand new era of the Star Wars timeline, which I think should’ve been its top priority.

Audiobook On Borrowed Time by Jenn McKinlay

Turns out the Dawn of the Jedi is already at least 10,000 years in. So it’s not exactly the origin story I’d hoped for. And the book does that thing most sci-fi books seem to do now—sacrifice a satisfying conclusion to set up possible sequels. But it’s well written. Not a groan-worthy simile in sight. If there ever IS a sequel, I’d buy it.

Audio On Borrowed Time narrated by Allyson Ryan

Into The Void: Dawn of the Jedi is an interesting idea. It tells a tale set in the very beginning of the Je’daii order — not the actual beginning, but the first version of what would become the Jedi. In this novel we meet a young female Je’daii Ranger named Lanoree who is the main character for the story on the planet Tython, which long-time readers of Star Wars novels will know is the original planet of the Jedi. The story told centers on her and the deranged “Stargazers” group who are trying to open a “hypergate” in the Tython system, which would open up travel to outside their solar system. In the era the novel is set in, “Hyperspace” travel is known about and possible, but it is a forbidden Gree technology and it isn’t on all of the ships like it is in the classic Star Wars (Han, Luke & Leia) era. There are things called “hypergates” though, which as I understand it are similar to the Iconian (from Star Trek) gateways where you could travel from one place to another (distance being irrelevant) by simply stepping through a gate. But I could be wrong about that, the gateways weren’t really explained very well, in the novel they are rumor and myth only, and nobody knows how they work, or even if they exist, only that they think the Gree either built them, or inherited them if they didn’t actually build them.

First off; this isn’t the Dawn of the Jedi. From “Dawn” you might expect the first Force-sensitive becoming conscious of their power and beginning to forge a sense of their religion. What you get is a slightly different spelling, real swords instead of laser swords and rangers instead of knights. There’s already a Jedi Council and they’re already the self-appointed guardians of their little universe. We’re well past dawn here and more just-clocking-in-at-work. That’s not to say that makes it a bad book, just not the one you might expect.

What does make it a bad book – or at least a less good one – is just how flat everything is. Despite plenty of action, it just doesn’t have any impetus. It’s not badly written and yet there’s just something lacking that makes you bothered about getting to the end.

Maybe, as others have noted, it’s that the central character isn’t particularly likeable. A flawed hero is all well and good but throughout it feels like Lanoree is in the wrong: a self-superior bully who’s probably responsible for making the bad guy the way he is.

Maybe that’s the intention: her morality’s so dubious it feels like this could have been “Dawn of the Sith”. There’s plenty of possibility hinted at here that could have taken a series somewhere if it had been given time to grow but because of the Disney buy out, that’ll never happen. That means, with its isolated setting, this doesn’t feel part of the Star Wars universe; it’s a rogue entry in a Star Wars style.

It also has the recent trend for characters striving for “balance” in the force which always bugs me. Ever since George Lucas threw it into the movies, we’ve moved away from good vs evil into nonsense where we’re supposed to root for whatever “balance” is supposed to be. Exploring the blurred lines between good and evil is one thing but actively striving for 50% good 50% evil is just gibberish. I don’t think they’ve understood the eastern philosophy this idea is based on and if they havent got the chops, they should leave well alone.

It’s a general fault, not specific to Dawn, but something that turns me off a lot of the newer entries, this one included. Dawn’s big fault is just that there’s not enough to love or even like about it. It’s just… flat.
