Battle Scars by Sam Maggs takes place a few years after the Fallen Order game (I suspect this book might take place around the same time as the Obi-Wan series?) I'm also not sure if this book happens right before the sequel game coming out in April, Jedi Survivor, or a year or two beforehand.… Continue reading Review: battle Scars by Sam Maggs
The Princess and the Scoundrel by Beth Revis takes place right after Return of the Jedi, finding Leia and Han on Endor on the eve of their wedding.

Star Wars: Brotherhood by Mike Chen follows newly promoted Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi after the events of Episode II: Attack of the Clones. The entire plot springs from a line of dialogue at the beginning of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith when Anakin says he saved Obi-Wan's life for the tenth time, to… Continue reading Review: Brotherhood by Mike Chen
After the heavy subject matter of the last book I read, I thought it time for something light! Queen's Hope by E. K.

While QP was a quick, entertaining read (Padme, the handmaidens, and Naboo are my happy… Continue reading Review: Queen’s Peril by E. K. Johnston
As some of you may (or may not) know, I sometimes pepper my Historical Fiction reviews with Sci-Fi or Fantasy. This is one of those times. I did not want Queen's Shadow to end! Focused on Padme Amidala between the events of Episode I and II (beginning roughly five years after EPI,) Johnston explores the… Continue reading Review: Queen’s Shadow by E.K. Johnston
As we well know, Captain Phasma was grossly underused in The Force Awakens. We were teased with marketing hype for this amazing-looking character, and what we got was a glorified extra who was implausibly bested by a rookie trooper with a blaster. Phasma by Delilah S.

Through Iden, we come… Continue reading Review: Battlefront II: Inferno Squad by Christie Golden
