Read from March 13 to 29, 2012

I have read a few of the Star Wars books here and there, none of them really grabbed me the way this series of books did. I enjoyed the whole story. It was rich in Star Wars history/mythology from book 1 to book 9. While not every book was great, having 3 different authors tell the story through series can change the way some of the books flow and can alter their quality and effectiveness. But I can’t see one author doing the whole series of books in a 4 year period, and I know that not even the original trilogy had different authors for the novels.

The thing that struck me as most intriguing was that this series of books ties in to the Marvel comics of the 1980′s and the current Clone Wars TV series. I found this fun and it kept my attention as to what would happen as the books progressed. I also wondered what type of Star Wars Bible there must be for all the various writers and creators of these stories. I would love to have a peek into how Lucas Arts puts all the little pieces of the Star Wars Universe stories together, and I look forward to the next series which is left open at the end of this ninth book.

I was thrilled how in the end this series tied in to the Marvel Comics of the 1980's and the Clone Wars TV show of today. It bring the myth full circle and I liked it."
