Anyway, this thread is meant to chat about thoughts on any of the Star Wars novels that were produced. I just finished this Star Wars novel...
...and I had a hard time with it. It made me think of Hemlock Grove where you have (in my opinion) too many stories going on within the story. Too many characters in different locations. The whole time wondering when it is going to come together. It did near the end and this is a trilogy so I will give the second book a whirl. It just took too long to get there.
One thing that annoyed me was the way the author had to insert "Star Wars-y" adjectives into particular areas. He couldn't state that something was going to crumble like a "house of cards". He had to write that it would crumble like a "house of sabacc cards". Or, "I've been doing this since you were in space diapers". What in the fuck are space diapers? Some were funny like, "he could sell sand to a Jawa". That was pretty good. But overall he used this writing style a little too much compared to other Star Wars novels.
Another one I am eager to jump into is this...
...which is supposed to be a bunch of short stories based on others witnessing the events of the movies and how they perceived or interacted with the events.
