The New Jedi Order Series

I've just finished The New Jedi Order Series! Yes, just about a year ago, I started the New Jedi Order series, and now, 10 months and 19 books and 2 eBooks later, I have completed it. I know that the series has its detractors but I am not among that group. I loved this series. What a thrill ride it was!

Some reviewers have said that the series was too dark. It was dark alright, but that's precisely what gave it its edge. I knew that Chewbacca was to die in this series, but I had no idea when. I was shocked that it happened in the first book, "Vector Prime". But it was a very moving, emotional moment. The way that Han dealt with Chewie's death, or didn't as the case may have been, was a very poignant piece of writing, I thought. Being a parent myself, I found it heart-wrenching the way that Han pushed away Anakin because of his blaming him for Chewbacca's death.

I will continue with a full rundown of the entire series soon. Stay tuned!
