Star Wars New Jedi Order

This is for Donna.  She couldn't get into the whole NJO series, but she wants to read the highlights because she REALLY likes the Darth Bane books.  So I'm going to give links to all of the Wikipedia summaries here and tell you/her which ones I think are the best so that she can read those.


Vector Prime - I thought this one was really good, my wife not so much.  But you should read it anyway just to know how this whole thing starts
Dark Tide I: Onslaught
Dark Tide II: Ruin
Agents of Chaos I: Hero's Trial - I thought these were really good, because they bring Han back into the mix.
Agents of Chaos II: Jedi Eclipse
Balance Point -  Here we see Jacen's trouble with the Force.
Recovery -  An e-novella that just provides a bit of back story.  It is included in the paper back copy of Star by Star.
Edge of Victory I: Conquest - Both of the Edge of Victory books are details about Anakin, and are pretty essential if you want to feel the weight of "Star by Star"
Edge of Victory II: Rebirth - See above.
Star by Star - The longest book of the series, and a MUST READ.  Really have to read this if you want to understand the Solo children and what happens to them after this.  Plus it is just an epic ride.
Dark Journey
Enemy Lines I: Rebel Dream
Enemy Lines II: Rebel Stand
Traitor - MUST READ!!! In my opinion, the best of the entire series.  This is a pivotal moment for Jacen.  One that will change his destiny forever.
Destiny's Way -  Further insight into Jacen's mind.  Along with the fate of the galaxy.
Ylesia - Short e-novella that I haven't actually finished yet. Not a necessary part of the story.  But what I've read has been good.
Force Heretic I: Remnant
Force Heretic II: Refugee
Force Heretic III: Reunion
The Final Prophecy -  Should read.
The Unifying Force - MUST READ.  That is if you cared about any of the previous books.  This one wraps it all up.
