Dark Disciple by Christie Golden is a standalone novel in the Star Wars universe set around The Clone Wars timeline. It stars both Jedi Master Quinlan Vos and ex-Sith member Asajj Ventress, both of whom this novel serves as my introduction to. It always feels great to come back to read a Star Wars novel…

Thrawn: Treason by Timothy Zahn is book three and the final of the Thrawn Trilogy set. After loving the first but being underwhelmed with the second, I’m looking for this trilogy set to end with a bang. While I love reading about Thrawn, I found that the problem, if you can call it one, is…

Thrawn: Alliances by Timothy Zahn is book number 2 in the trilogy set. While I had some fun with the first book, with what getting to know more about Thrawn and all, here in the sequel not so much. Although still a decent read and by no means something to skip over, the magic seems…

Darth Maul – Saboteur by James Luceno is a short story detailing a quick mission taken by Darth Sidious’s young apprentice, Darth Maul, prior to the events of The Phantom Menace. Put me in the category of being a Darth Maul fan without knowing actually why. Sure, he has the classic vicious villain look to…

Darth Plagueis by James Luceno is a Star Wars novel dedicated to the rise to power of Sith lords Plagueis and Sidious. There’s always two sides to a story as they say and this is no less true when comparing the Jedi’s to the Sith’s. One faction represents the light or the “good side” while…

Queen’s Peril by E.K. Johnston details the events of Padme’s life leading up and into the events of The Phantom Menace. I have to say that I wasn’t too particularly thrilled with this novel in the beginning mainly due to having just read Master & Apprentice with Jedi’s and whatnot. However, it quickly settled into…

Master & Apprentice by Claudia Gray is one of the first chronological books in the Star Wars canon universe within the prequel era. I saw that many reviewers have praised the author for being one of the best out there when it came to writing Star Wars novels. If all of the other novels to…
