After that little hiccup in the beginning, I started to really like the book. The message the Jedi sent was a little over the top, for Jedi, but it was still a really cool, laconic message. I'm enjoying Dorvan's bits.

I'm about 140 pages in and I'm feeling underwhelmed.

Its in two halves for a lot of people. Some enjoy the insane, quick-paced action in the first half while some enjoy the more ethereal, background and TCW influenced second half.

I've started X-Wing: Rogue Squadron, and honestly, I'm not enjoying it. Straightaway into a space battle and I have no idea what's going on, who's who, which ships are the bad guys, what they were doing. Very confused. That may be my fault though.

I've ordered Omnibus: Revenge of the Sith though.

I've just gotten to Solo Command in the X-Wing series. I'm loving X-Wing. I was dissappointed at first when Wraith Squadron became the focus, but I got attached to the characters very quickly. I'll have two more books to read after this, and then X-Wing: Mercy Kill coming out in august. I can't wait.

I'm enjoying the second half much better.

It felt more Star-Warsy to me to. Only kind of though, because some of the things incorporated kinda felt tossed in and some of it took me out.

I have one more book left in the X-Wing series. After that, I'll probably start reading the New Jedi Order books. I own vector Prime and I've read it. My public library actually has all the other NJO books (except the ebooks, of course), so I'll be able to read them all. Actually, wikipedia says NJO: Ylesia was eventually printed in The Joiner King. I have that book in paperback, but I haven't read it because I've heard so much bad stuff about the Dark Nest Trilogy, so I didn't notice if it had an extra story or not.

I actually liked the Dark Nest Trilogy.

Currently, I'm rereading, Yoda Dark Rendezvous.

Apocalypse. I am currently reading Apocalypse, and that will probably be my status for a while yet.

Last book finished, Apocolypse. Then I went and listened to the audiobooks for DN, LOTF and FOTJ while at work. For me, they are a continuous timeline of the story of Jacen, with FOTJ more so being the aftermath.

Finished Apocalypse (I should really italicise book titles, shouldn't I?). Now going to reread the Legacy comics.

I'm waiting for the books I ordered to come in. I'm just filling in the void until they do.

Just finished Yoda: Dark Rendezvous. Started re-reading Planet of Twilight.
