I am about halfway through and I must say it is a pretty sweet book.
one funny thing about the book is the icon icorrectly states it as a prequel era novel when it clearly is set after a new hope and before the empire strikes back. Which is classic era and has the imperial insignia.
Also it describes mara's lightsaber as magenta in the book. on the back cover art her saber is crimson red like a sith's saber, like vader's or sidious.
I have a feeling the rare purple chrystal the emperor gave mara in the book (spoilers) was taken from maces lightsaber though it does not say so.
Tempest was also a pretty decent book but I do not like how the galaxy is plunged into darkness again by the skywalker bloodline.
Waiting for exile to come out as well as the first legacy comics series TPB.
I am also looking forward to a dance with dragons by George R.R. Martin and the final wheel of time novel from the very ill robert jordan.
also volume 3 in the inheritance trilogy.
the most eagerly anticipated book by far this year for me is the children of hurin edited by christopher tolkien and illustrated by alan lee. as well as the history of the hobbit.
I am also eagerly anticipating the making of star wars book introduced by peter jackson.
I am very much looking forward to neon genesis evangelion manga volume 10 from viz.
