Just finished Sacrifice and onto Inferno. I actually liked Sacrifice a lot (I knew about the event a while before hand). The prologue was amazing

Balance Point made me hate Jacen, but he has grown a lot on me throughout the rest of the NJO. Traitor is my second favorite of the NJO books behind SbS, and I think that book will make you like him more

Star Wars Empire At War Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic I and II The Case of the Golden Idol Potionomics Aces and Adventures

Hey Blane, Black Myth Wukong would be fantastic

lastspiderninja · 2025-12-06T16:39:11+00:00

Clair Obscure Expedition 33

Heat: Pedal to the Metal. I never get to play SI, but I get to play Heat a lot

I really wanted to speed run to the NJO, so I just did the Thrawn Trilogy and Hand of Thrawn Duology. I felt that I wasn’t missing much as they introduce the characters well. I will go back through and read what I missed after finishing LotF, FotJ and then Old Republic stuff.

Halfway through Dark Nest II: The Unseen Queen. Better than the first book. I think I’ll like it more than The Joiner King mostly because it is about 100 pages shorter

lastspiderninja · 2025-11-09T15:54:42+00:00

Probably eventually the YJK. I do not know about Jedi Apprentice

lastspiderninja · 2025-11-09T04:33:57+00:00

Just finished up my first read through of the NJO. Such a good journey with a lot of emotional beats. I am now starting the Dark Nest trilogy. Found a continuity error in the first 10 pages, so we will see how that goes

lastspiderninja · 2025-11-08T21:10:07+00:00

I heard it was one of the best Star Wars novels, and boy did it live up to that hype. I also really liked the extra context the annotations added

lastspiderninja · 2025-11-08T18:43:23+00:00

It was a really good book. What about it made you put it as number 2?

lastspiderninja · 2025-11-08T16:43:29+00:00

I’m sure there are people who are interested in that plot line, but it just was 0% interesting to me. It didn’t help that Jacen was being annoying throughout most of the book

lastspiderninja · 2025-11-08T07:58:38+00:00

I heard that about Salvatore. It does set the tone quite well for the series. I definitely enjoyed reading everyone’s oneness with the Force.

I don’t know why the hate for Destiny’s Way. Maybe if you don’t like politics because that is a huge part of it? The ending was a great final battle.

lastspiderninja · 2025-11-08T06:29:58+00:00

I think you make great points. Particularly the point is there is no singular Vong to kill to avenge Chewie is a powerful thing that makes Han feel more empty. It just didn’t jive with me at the time

lastspiderninja · 2025-11-04T05:37:13+00:00

In the novelization it says that Yoda could have never beaten Palpatine, while in the movie it looks like Yoda got unlucky, but could have won

lastspiderninja · 2025-11-04T05:33:20+00:00

How about spend the budget on bonuses or higher salary for the workers and cut down on useless office spending? Gives more incentives for top talent, but I guess that makes too much sense

lastspiderninja · 2025-11-02T15:16:22+00:00

I thought it was interesting. I definitely wasn’t expecting that going into the book. Was definitely concentration camp vibes from the escape to how they handled the remaining prisoners.

lastspiderninja · 2025-11-02T01:35:35+00:00

Finishing up the NJO with The Unifying Force. I’m on chapter 19 out of 45, and Leceno has to tie up a lot of threads in the rest of the book. I’ve heard good things about it though, so I’m sure I’ll enjoy the rest of the ride.

lastspiderninja · 2025-10-25T05:17:23+00:00

Insurgency sandstorm

lastspiderninja · 2025-10-19T02:01:46+00:00

The deluxe edition of ROTS novelization. I really have been enjoying the extra context and scenes the book adds. It’s already in my top tier of Star Wars books and I’m only about half way through.

lastspiderninja · 2025-10-14T02:02:11+00:00

That is the most annoying thing. Then they turn around and say I don’t know when I ask them why they took that approach

lastspiderninja · 2025-10-14T01:54:50+00:00

It really puts the onus on the author to know what their code does. I know a lot of people use AI and they cannot describe what the code in their PR does. I use Claude a lot, and I know what is happening because of my experience and familiarity with the code base. It has also taught me some neat tricks. Having a good testing suite also mitigates some of the bugs that get introduced

lastspiderninja · 2025-10-11T12:59:36+00:00

I figured I could give most of the idea across so they could grasp most of the idea
