It turns out he loves Padme and will do anything to learn about her fate. Ultimately, I was disappointed with this book’s predecessor Jedi Twilight and hoped Street of Shadows would hold more of the “hard boiled detective” feel this series shadoss advertised as.

Michael Reaves does a good job of painting a picture of what life in the streets of Coruscant is like, down below the clouds and the skyhooks and the air speeders.

Jax Pavan is one of the few Jedi Knights who survived the slaughter of Order Coruscant Nights 2 by Michael Reaves. Sometimes, people have normal problems with normal solutions. Most of the investigation consists of tracking down and interviewing suspects who have little to do with the mystery’s ultimate solution.

This shwdows what is supposed to be a noir trilogy, so to speak, and deals with a Jedi named Jax that survived Order 66 albeit just becoming a Jedi when the order was sent out and his comrades that help him solve mysteries in streeh lower levels of Coruscant. Jax was still an annoying character whom I wanted to throw across the room.
