Kevin J. Anderson.

I started to read my old SW books that I've only read once as a teenager and forgetting pretty much everything. So it was a good time to start over beginning with SW, Splinter, TESB, ROTJ, Thrawn... and now I'm reading KJA's pieces of work.

After Thrawn trilogy this guy's work feels like they were written by a 14-year-old. Everything happens so fast (for a book, anyways) and the things people do in the story feel completely ridicilous. Daala being like a second Thrawn and making battle plans like a random person from the streets, ugh. I'm now in his second book and in the first 100 pages Ackbar destroys thousands of aliens and retires from being an admiral, Han loses Falcon and Ackbar's best technician friend is an Imperial spy with a cyborg brain. I laughed out loud at the last one when reading.

I didn't remember these were that bad. I remember Crystal Star being the worst book ever and it was also the last one published here. Not sure if I'll give it another read... Almost considering dropping KJA's books but it's good to have something to read. I guess?
