Catching Fire (The Hunger Games #2) by Suzanne Collins
Catching Fire (The Hunger Games #2)

methebolt, January 1, 2013

This is the best book of the much-vaunted Hunger Games trilogy. Suzanne Collins wrote a masterpiece here, bringing back Katniss, the Girl on Fire, and her band of people who are bound to her vicious and conniving personality. One might ask, "What makes us keep coming back to this story about a post-apocalyptic world where teenagers are forced to fight to the death to please a bloodthirsty Capitol?" The rich and vibrant writing style of Collins is what makes me come back. The lure of the suprise that is sure to come is strong too. Trust me, you won't believe your eyes.

Heir to the Empire: The 20th Anniversary Edition (Star Wars) by Timothy Zahn
Heir to the Empire: The 20th Anniversary Edition (Star Wars)

methebolt, August 4, 2012

An incredible book; the 20th Anniversary edition of Heir to the Empire, the book that started the Star Wars novel era. The author added his comments on the margins, comments about characters, names and placest that he created. It also has a brand new short story. Great book, definitely worth the money.

Heir to the Empire: The 20th Anniversary Edition (Star Wars) by Timothy Zahn
Heir to the Empire: The 20th Anniversary Edition (Star Wars)

methebolt, September 26, 2011

This book is the classic; the one that started it all. Without Heir to the Empire, there would be no STAR WARS novels as we know them today. Heir introduces some of the most beloved characters, like Mara Jade, Captain Pellaeon, Talon Karrde, the Noghri and Grand Admiral Thrawn. And the plot is amazing intricate, with things that you never thought would matter having astronomical consequences. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves the galaxy far, far away.

Star Wars: The New Jedi Order #09: Star by Star by Troy Denning
Star Wars: The New Jedi Order #09: Star by Star

methebolt, September 12, 2011

This is the most awesome book in the New Jedi Order. You must read this book in order to understand the rest of NJO as well as the Legacy of the Force and Fate of the Jedi series.
First the plot. Troy Denning does a masterful job weaving this story together. The Yuuzhan Vong are cloning a jedi-hunting animal. So Luke Skywalker send Anakin, Jacen and Jaina Solo of to the world of Myrkr to destroy the clone template. It is one of the best STAR WARS books ever written in my humble opinion.
