First of all, let me just say that I am a HUGE fan of the EU. With a few exceptions (the Callista Trilogy novels) I find that the novels are better than the Prequals. I also think that the comics are brilliant as well.

As to what I'm reading...

I just finished The Swarm War (book 3 of The Dark Nest Trilogy), and thought it was great. I also enjoyed Dark Lord: The Rise Of Vader

I won't bash anything here (except the SE & the PT - LOL).

I guess you could call me an EU devotee. They just feel like SW to me.

Once again, just my 2 cents
