Re: favorite books/series in EU
Thrawn Trilogy (got me into the whole thing), first three books of X-Wing Series, Jedi Academy, Shadows of the Empire, so far in I, Jedi (I'm about half way through). Those are my favourites. I like all the books I've read except Children of the Jedi because I couldn't understand it that well. It took me about half the book to figure out where Luke was (on the Eye of Palpatine)! (Don't laugh, I'm just a bit slow sometimes.) However, I did like the character of Callista.
Re: favorite books/series in EU
You liked Callista? Really? I honestly find that difficult to believe. I thought Callista was the biggest travesty in the whole EU. And Children of the Jedi utterly rotten. For me, the Zahn books and I, Jedi are by far the best
My favorite (SPOILERS for Thrawn Trilogy)
I've all ready posted my response to this, but here's an update. This is kind of odd, but I just started reading the Thrawn trilogy. You would think that was what I would have started with but... So far, it's quite enjoyable. I've just gotten to the part where Chewie and Leia are headed to Kahyyk (or however you spell that) I enjoyed the Courtship of Princess Leia, but it didn't really portray the characters very well, and didn't focus on the Courtship of Princess Leia. The story was good, but if I had my way, I would re-write the whole thing. Besides, do you think that Han would have been such a baby about Leia and Isoldar? ::shudders:: and "kiss my Wookie?" So mature! I guess out of all the novels I've read, "The Krytos Trap" in the X-Wing series is my favorite, but I think that might be replaced by one of the books in the Thrawn trilogy.
