The novel had a feeling of everything must be viewed from a Prequel point of view.

This pretty much sums up the current state of the EU.

I think it's more attempting to mesh the two trilogies together by getting your OT in my PT and my PT in your OT.*

It can come off as blatant and annoying shoehorning, but sometimes it's good. I really enjoyed "The Life and Times of Obi-Wan Kenobi" because the author did a good job of connecting all the Obi-Wan stuff into one character. There was good suspense and emotion throughout. It's really a very sad book, because you know where it's going. It literally gave me chills at certain points.
