I really can't think of a Star Wars novel that I really could not put down except for Order 66...and that was for the non-movie world building.Between Disneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12653018376821284998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742397735750786016.post-35488227681788168092015-02-13T12:55:06.266-06:002015-02-13T12:55:06.266-06:00After having read both the new novels, I'm not...After having read both the new novels, I'm not convinced that Star Wars really works as straight prose. It requires some kind of visual component, whether the movies/animation or the comic art. The only Star Wars novel I've thoroughly enjoyed (and granted, I have not read much of anything in the EU) was "Splinter of the Mind's Eye."Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363158930596606463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742397735750786016.post-44007890826507699002015-02-13T12:07:34.801-06:002015-02-13T12:07:34.801-06:00I think my biggest problem is unlike the comic lin...I think my biggest problem is unlike the comic lines of the last few years, the book offerings have been pretty flat for me!Between Disneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12653018376821284998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742397735750786016.post-51391839489863177322015-02-12T14:27:25.969-06:002015-02-12T14:27:25.969-06:00Nice review.

I will say, though I was generally unimpressed by the novel, I did like how, while the mystery of Vader's identity (from Tarkin's p.o.v.) was engaged, it wasn't a big deal. Ultimately, Tarkin had his guesses, but he just didn't care. He's too focused on power and the big picture, and that seemed to ring true.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363158930596606463noreply@blogger.com
