Review:Thanks to Rebels we know there was a Jedi hunt, this centers more on Rebels and Separatists. I find it strange that the new Canon is almost 100% Jediless. Luckily Tarkin is very cool, and I did not hate this book. Read more

Review:I read the Kindle edition of Thrawn: Alliances.

As part of the new Disney canon for Star Wars, Thrawn: Alliances is the follow-up to Zahn's previous Star Wars: Thrawn novel.

Pairing Vader and Thrawn together, Emperor Palpatine sends the duo on a mission to investigate a disturbance in the Force in the Unknown Regions. Intertwined is another story in which Jedi General Anakin is on a personal ... Read more

Review:Don't expect a lot from this book - It's great if you want a quick read about Ashoka or you're a teen reader. If you are serious fan of Star Wars books, it's best to skip this book and wait for something more substantial. This book lacks character depth, a serious plot and graphic details. Read more

Review:Book is boring. Doesn't feel like a Star Wars book. These new stories are very sterile. Nothing like the old ones that made you feel like you were on an adventure with the classic cast heroes. Here, no one is really around. Only ones here are Leia and 3po. Han only comes in for the occasional voice mail. Read more

Review:One of the best entries into the star wars series for sure read this book 3 times over the years and it keeps reminding me of how awesome these books can be...highly recommended for all star wars fans! Read more

Review:What's a Star Wars universe story without action, romance, heroism & the occasional laugh? Catalyst is the answer! Oh man, what a pointless waste of time. I couldn't even read the whole thing. Such a pedantic & ploddingly boring tale of nothing. It literally goes nowhere for at the least the first 12 chapters [which is where I finally, grudgingly admitted what a failure, not to mention waste of money, this book is!]. I really wanted to like the book, as I love just about any novel in the... Read more

Review:This give us the first look at the "new canon" relationship between Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. Set about halfway between Saga Episodes III and IV the Empire is in a pacification phase. In trying to quell a spark that may lead to wider rebellion Palpatine and Vader spring a trap left for them by a former Republic ally from the Clone Wars. Their ensuing fight for survival is colored by the inherent friction and doubt between Sith Master and Apprentice. This book is another piece in the bri... Read more

Review:The title of "Battlefront" on the cover is false advertisement; this is easily the most boring novel of all the new Star Wars books. It's not a poorly written book by any means, but it's certainly not what you would expect as a followup to the action packed Battlefront: Twilight Company. This book is supposed to introduce us to the Empire's most elite special forces unit, and yet in 300+ pages they (minor spoilers ahead) barely manage to take out a tiny Rebel cell of around 10 people (end of min...

Review:I couldn't put this book down. The dialog kept me snorting randomly. 4 stars because I hated the ending. I'll continue to purchase Star Wars novels, but the approach Disney has taken with "official canon" and "legends" truly is a bad move and an insult to Star Wars EU. This is still a good book, but I hate Disney for screwing the timeline. Read more

Review:STAR WARS: PHASMA is a book which I think really shows what the biggest problem with current Star Wars tie-in fiction is, which is the fact nothing is allowed to happen. This is the life story of Captain Phasma, the cowardly but dangerous leader of the First Order's Stormtroopers who brought down the shields of Starkiller Base when someone pointed a gun at her.
The entirety of the book is meant to reconcile the fact she's meant to be terrifying but rolled on her fellow Imperials at the first ... Read more
