Compared to Outcast (book 1), Omen does a better job in creating suspense and has more meaningful events. Though, the scenes with Allana could be reduced some. But Luke's adventure and the rise of his future enemy makes this book worth it. If you're not interested in Luke going on a journey to learn force techniques, you won't like this series, because that's a major part of these books. It becomes clear in this book the fate of the jedi may not look too good - which keeps you reading to see what happens (what any good book should do).
Another review said this book had drawn out scenes with lightsabers cutting through the wall, but I don't ever remember reading anything like that. And another said this was the same as Outcast, but I disagree. This book introduces the antagonist - the true villain, while outcast has nothing to equal that.

Omen (Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi, Book 2) Overview
The Jedi Order is in crisis. The late Jacen Solo’s shocking transformation into murderous Sith Lord Darth Caedus has cast a damning pall over those who wield the Force for good: Two Jedi Knights have succumbed to an inexplicable and dangerous psychosis, criminal charges have driven Luke Skywalker into self-imposed exile, and power-hungry Chief of State Natasi Daala is exploiting anti-Jedi sentiment to undermine the Order’s influence within the Galactic Alliance.
Forbidden to intervene in Jedi affairs, Luke is on a desperate mission to uncover the truth behind Jacen’s fall to the dark side–and to learn what’s turning peaceful Jedi into raving lunatics. But finding answers will mean venturing into the mind-bending space of the Kathol Rift and bargaining with an alien species as likely to destroy outsiders as deal with them. Still, there is no other choice and no time to lose, as the catastrophic events on Coruscant continue to escalate. Stricken by the same violent dementia that infected her brother, Valin, Jedi Knight Jysella Horn faces an equally grim fate after her capture by Natasi Daala’s police. And when Han and Leia Solo narrowly foil another deranged Jedi bent on deadly destruction, even acting Jedi Grand Master Kenth Hamner appears willing to bow to Daala’s iron will–at the expense of the Jedi Order.
But an even greater threat is looming. Millennia in the past, a Sith starship crashed on an unknown low-tech planet, leaving the survivors stranded. Over the generations, their numbers have grown, the ways of the dark side have been nurtured, and the time is fast approaching when this lost tribe of Sith will once more take to the stars to reclaim their legendary destiny as rulers of the galaxy. Only one thing stands in their way, a name whispered to them through the Force: Skywalker.
