Hi, /lit/! I want to get into Star Wars books. What is the best

>>9065500
Sorry, this is a literature board.

The New Jedi Order series

>>9065500
I posted this recently, got shit on for daring to want to read them. I began with Darth Maul Shadow Hunter. It was pretty boring to be honest. Perhaps lit was right.

Anything that is a spinoff or fan fiction of a popular tv series or film franchise is going to be dissapointing.

I'll just throw something out there...
>THE REBELLION: The novelizations of the original trilogy, plus The Truce at Bakura
>THE NEW REPUBLIC: The Thrawn Trilogy, plus The Jedi Academy Trilogy (and I, Jedi)
>THE NEW JEDI ORDER: Vector Prime, Star by Star, and The Unifying Force, plus Traitor
>LEGACY OF THE FORCE: I actually haven't finished this series, but Betrayal's Jacen-porn and Bloodlines' Boba-porn definitely are pretty awesome.

Shadows

Michael Reeves is p trash.
Try one by James Luceno. His prose is the nicest out of the SW authors IMO.

Don't bother, the expanded universe got shit on with the sequel trilogy.

Wait a couple of years and find out what of the post VII books become canon.

Read Dune instead

He seems to be talking about pictureless text tomes.

Oh, look! There are plenty of other threads for you to be self-righteous and important in the catalog! >>>/lit/catalog

I read one of the new ones that's about Ventress. Turns out it's written by a woman that worked on the clone wars animation, so if you liked that I guess you'd like the book too. But I wouldn't really recommend it desu

what other YA would you recommend, /lit/?
Harry Potter?
(for girls)

how is the unresolved sexual tension between Ventress and Dooku?

You should start with "Tarkin" since it's a nice read and is included in disney's canon.
If you just don't care about canonicity start with "Kenobi" by John Jackson Miller

>>9068677
it's actually about the sexual tension between her and some undercover jedifag (I forgot his name), and it is resolved.
Dooku just pops up here and there (he's the assassination target of the undercover jeday)

Ventress is liberated, independent and strong (and blonde)

James Luceno is a yuhuge Pynchon fan, if that helps.

The comics that I've read really are better than the novels. Legacy and the Tales of the Sith series in particular are fun reads.
