Query: Slow Pace

I've read almost every Star Wars novel so I consider myself somewhat of an expert. Troy Denning is one of my favorite Star Wars novelist but I have to admit that this story was slow and boring. I suppose that is was the lack of Jedi duals and use of force powers--aside from a few visions experienced by Leah. It is worth reading because it does fill in some gaps but only by serious fans. I wouldn't recommend this novel to the casual reader as I'm afraid it would turn them away from reading more, better Star Wars novels.
