It’ll be a bit more time before we get there, but Jedi Quest was also written by Jude Watson and has two crossover specials with Jedi Apprentice. Since these books are both published under the Jedi Apprentice name, it feels appropriate to review them now.

I think it’s a change for the better, as we’ll see this week when we finish of the main series of Jedi Apprentice!
