Finished up another book in the Fate of the Jedi series. The story is coming along very nicely now and things are really starting to shape up. Some backstabbing and treachery always makes for a better read.

It’s nice to have Luke, Han and Leia together just like in the old movies, even if it was only for a few chapters. They’re pretty much what I think of when I think of Star Wars (sorry Chewbacca, RIP).

I really liked the force wielding tribes, it was cool to see other people using the force differently than how Jedi’s would. Reminds you how big the galaxy is.

Something big but separate events should be going down with the Sith and the Moths in the next books. Look forward to checking them out.

The third book in the Fate of the Jedi series was a solid read. There seemed to be more of an emphasis on Luke and Ben’s journey, which was cool. Their subplot has been the most interesting to me. The whole beyond shadows experience was pretty deep. They really went pretty far out with the whole thing.

There was also a good amount of Han Solo stuff too. He’s gotta be in his 60’s in this story, but it’s nice to see he’s still getting around and causing trouble for others.

The Sith storyline took a pretty major turn towards the end of the book. I wasn’t expecting them to attack Luke in this book, so that was a pleasant surprise. Those last few unexpected chapters were hard to put down.

My summer reading spree continues. Need to decide on my next book to read.

Just finished reading the second book in the Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi series. It was pretty good, lots more of the same from the first book.

Luke and Ben and still searching for answers and meet up with a different alien race. Their whole take on no light or dark side in the force, but more of a rainbow was cool. They didn’t believe you had to be one or the other.

I really liked how the whole Sith living isolated on a planet for 5000 years sets up some potential good stuff. I really liked how they assumed that every other planet was ruled by Sith only to find out that they are actually near extinct at this point.

Some big stuff seems to be getting setup for the later books in this series. Oh and Omen is the name of an ancient Sith ship.

A few weeks back I was determined to make use of a public library. I’ve been buying a lot of books and since I rarely read them twice, why not just borrow one for free. Plus I feel kinda smart and wise if I walk into a library every now and then.

I got a few suggestions from NGM on some good reads, but when I got to the library I got a little intimidated. Books seemed to be everywhere and they were all hardcover, and I’ve only been exposed to softcover books for the longest time.

Sadly they didn’t have what NGM had recommended, and I couldn’t recall the titles of some others as well. So in a bit of panic I grabbed a Star Wars book. It just seemed safe to me, so my decision was made.

It was a pretty solid read. The events take place right before Episode III, which was really cool. It gave characters who didn’t get much screen time in the film a time to shine. I was especially glad to learn more about General Grievous and Count Dooku. It was nice to see just how mean and feared they were to the Jedi and not some clumsy cowards who die a few minutes into the film.

If you’re into the whole Star Wars thing, then I’d recommend this highly. Very good read, with the last few chapters being the most exciting.
