Summary: Best of 3 in this mini trilogy.
Comment: The 'Force Heretic' story arc concludes with this third installment (or book 17) of the New Jedi Order series which has spanned the last few years, and thank God.
Heretic I & II seemed like complete filler material to me, doing little to advance the overall grand storyline that the New Jedi Order had set in motion. They did introduce a few marginally interesting points, but due to teh fact they were so drawn out, verbose, with little payoff it was a struggle to read through those. However, Heretic III was far superior to its prequels.
We finally see the resolution of Tahiri, the young Jedi girl who was saved by Anakin (who she was smitten with) from horrible experiments the Vong had dealt to her when she was in captivity. Finally, her bipolar personality story point comes to a head.
We also witness the 1st major campaign with the allied New Galactic Alliance (formerly The New Republic) and the Imperial Remnant. This makes for an exciting dynamic, and the ensuing space battle is one of the best to be read after many books.
Luke, Mara, Jacen, Danni, Saba finally see their quest for the search of the living planet, Sekot, also come to a head. Here the authors really make up for a campy and wild story regarding Sekot to the point where it actually can be read as plausible. Sekot hold some deep secrets regarding the Jedi, the Vong, and itself and its place in the galaxy. While some questions are answered, others are introduced in a exciting way which really helps make up for the previous two books attempts for the reader to care about finding Sekot.
And within the pages concerning the Vong, as always, Nom Anor's character shines. Nom's character makes the whole trilogy bright spot as his scheming and malicious ways make for great reads. Especially the attempt on his life from one of his own, and the revealing of one of his spies to Shmirra. More Nom, less filler.
After reading all three books, I am convinced that the story could have been much tighter and acceptable if completed in two. Unfortunately, the epilogue only hints at what is to come and the reader must decide if reading the three novels really accomplished anything on a 'grand galactic' scale.

Summary: Save your time and money!!!
Comment: (...) the book was free of anoying things like action, humor, and the making of sense. O wait, I guess that's the same hand...I HIGHLY RECCOMEND YOU READ A SUMMARY somewhere or just have a friend you don't like very much read this book and give you the important details. But, if you're like me you'll probably go out and read it anyway because it's part of the series and you made it through balance point and dark journey so you can make it through this and at least you heard the next 2 books are good and the last one is almost as good as star by star which is the only reason you're still reading the series of course rebel dream and that other one by the same guy were pretty good but you're the only one who thinks so probably because you're the only one who read the entire X-wing series by the same author and liked that but yeah...

Summary: This Book Was Great; Trilogy Was Weak
Comment: I love the NJO series. But this trilogy was really one of the weakest parts of the entire series. In it's defense, Reunion would actually rate much higher with me if it wasn't for the first two Force Heretic books. I was extremely satisfied with this book especially after a disappointing beginning to the trilogy.
The interactions between Luke and Jacen with Sekot are the highlight of the book along with Tahiri's merging of her two personalities. And Nom Anor is great as always. Plus, the retun of Droma teaming up with Han again was good to see. It just took too long to get to the good stuff of the 3rd novel. This should have been done as one novel with all the filler crap made more brief.
This is a great series so you have to read all three books. It could have been better, though.
