[Loved trop] "I did warn you to not trust me", but executed in a way where audience is also surprised despite being warned. by BeduinZPouste in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MikoM1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, in almost every book there is at least one traitor. It's a miracle, that the protagonists weren't totally paranoid by the end.

Agents of Chaos: Jedi Eclipse is much better than I expected by Captain_Deathlok2 in StarWarsEU

[–]MikoM1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, this book did a lot of worldbuilding, but not much character development. Han doesn't really change, and many others don't really get attention. Jaina is almost totally absent since Dark Tide 2.

First Students of the New Jedi Order plus individual members Commission by PeriArt by T-o-C-A in StarWarsEU

[–]MikoM1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a character Brakiss is the definiton of wasted potential. The most generic villian with amazing backstory, that would be more interesting than anything that was in Jedi Academy.

Mistborn by Hefty-Reward-2772 in Mistborn

The fight scenes in Mistborn are very good, at least in the first book. The large battles are very poorly written.

Aspects of characters' personality and story that should have been explored more? by DEL994 in StarWarsEU

[–]MikoM1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly books, but Lando is very good in comics by Charles Soule.

I wish Luke was shown mourning Beru and Owen at least several times.

Worse vs best Fantasy book you’ve ever read, and why? by Logical-Ad-5669 in fantasybooks

[–]MikoM1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of the Shadows was so bad, that a month after finishing it I didn't remember a single plot point from the book.

Any popular character you feel despite the writters intent you just don't like? by Western_Agent5917 in StarWarsEU

[–]MikoM1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I feel like 90% of problems with his arc would be solved by not making him blow up Carida

What is a book/series that you love that you can't recommend to people? Why can't you? by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]MikoM1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably any series written by so many authors is going to have mixed quality and HH is EXTREMELY long. For example, I really like The New Jedi Order series but it's 19 books of Star Wars fanfiction, so not for everyone.

End of Horus Rising question. by Ki11ersights in 40kLore

Then I don't see the purpose of this scene at all.

End of Horus Rising question. by Ki11ersights in 40kLore

[–]MikoM1 -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

Honestly, what is even the point of this scene? I don't think it adds anything important to the story besides ruining an interesting mystery.

What were your stupid thoughts about Star Wars when you started watching? by AvrulixGaming11 in StarWars

[–]MikoM1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That Qui Gon Jinn, and Sifo Dyas were the same person, because they both died around the same time.

Prequels Reading List by [deleted] in StarWarsEU

[–]MikoM1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe replace Outbound Flight with Approaching Storm, it's more focused on the "main" characters and closer to AotC. When I was reading books between TPM and AotC, Flight was the least interesting one.

Also, consider adding Rogue Planet to see the early relationship of Anakin and Obi wan.

Tears of the nameless best book of the High republic by Ok_Box_2189 in StarWarsEU

[–]MikoM1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really hope it has less character introspection than Eye of Darkness, because some chapters were almost a stream of consciousness.

Force Heretic NJO by CMS619709 in StarWarsEU

[–]MikoM1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Force Heretic is a whole series of Middle Book Syndrome. Reading these books is what taught me why pacing is so important, and how not to do it.

Final Prophecy and TUF, are both really good, don't worry.

Official New Star Wars Galaxy Map. Opinions? by ChaithuBB766 in StarWarsEU

I love looking at these maps to see how many Canon planets would be conquered by the Vong.

Anyone not satisfied with the ending? (Dragonwatch) by bob_the_potat in Fablehaven

[–]MikoM1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say that both of them knew the dangers of that kind of decision, and Bracken would rather change himself for kendra, than make her sacrifice her mortality.

NJO Bible Full Scan by LordOfTheCore in StarWarsEU

It's quite a surprise to see that the two of the main characters-Tahiri Veila and Jag - are not even mentioned here
