book review again

Book review
book tittle: star wars black fleet crisis book 1 - before the storm
summary:
The book is about the new republic trying to win over the membership of another league of an isolated species the Yevethas. They are a proud and ambitious species which was able to built hyoerspace engines when the wrath of the empire strikes them. they were enslaved and ordered to built war ships for the empire. After the empire was overthrown bythe New Replic, the Yevethas used the technologies learned from the empire and scavaged war ships from one best fleets of the empire - the black fleet. The Yevethas tried to diversify the council of the New Republic and the did it at a good timing,that is when Luke is away and Leia is not i good terms with her generals. It seems that they have succeded in lowering the guard and winning over the trust of Leia in isolated conferences and made her distruse her generals. In the mean time , luke is on a course to find out more about his mother, whom belonged to some white force clan that hid themselves during the day of Empire reign. Within this period he is unable to help the Leia and share her stress. By the end of the book the Yevethas were able to feature the New Republic as another tryant and hid their plot to take over the New Republic.

Opinion:
Well written scinece fiction, filled with terms invented in the star wars. So much so that I had to search the wikipedia for many of the explainations. However, it I think that Han Solo staying at home to take care of their children is such a waste of talent and Leia was so unreasonable in this book. I wonder why her generals are so loyal to her. Weather in the movies or them books she had never seem to be a some of great apititude. Her mastery of the force is weak, her physical abilities are weak, and in this book her control of her temper is weak, wonder how she lead so many worlds. And I thought that the mother of Luke and Leia is supposed to die long ago and was some sort of maid of Queen Armidala, how can she be so hidden boss of some obsolete branch of the Force. Another thing I dislike about this book is that Luke using his force so extensively like for example jumping down a cliff for no pratical reason as he could have walked down it and let the Force cuision his fall. Does he have nothing better to do, what proud display of power. This generation of the leaders with the force seem much less wise that people like Yoda and Obi-wan. (It seem nothing I like about any english stories till now they are so much shallow and uninteresting as compared to chinese novels.)
Now as for something i liked about the book or rather is that the initiative taken by Leia's generals and Han solo to find out the true intentions of the Yevethas. They sent ships to check out the Yevethian planets while being ordered to retreat. In it i think they have displayed true loyalty instead of behaving like dogs of the New Republic.
