What are you reading?

Currently skimming through the Star Wars: Thrawn Trilogy for like the tenth time.

Zahn is fucking badass. I don't know about his other works, but this series of books is gold. You don't have to have read any of the other EU stuff to get into it (I certainly didn't), and his style evokes the feel of the early movies very well. Even if you don't like EU stuff at all, you should give this series a chance.

It's that good, IMO.

It was very good, one of the few Star Wars books I've read (along with the Crystal Star and Shadows of the Empire) and I bought all three (though I don't know if I have Heir to the Empire anymore).

Mara Jade was so well received that they included her in the Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi fighting game (which I actually really had fun with) as a character and for a while (and possibly still) considered her canon, like they do the events of Shadows.
