Not bad, a decent writer, he does a good job of setting up motivations, though he spends little time on the canonical characters (Han, Leia). A decent read.

The Han and Leia characters are not very well crafted, but some of the others, especially the mad b1 battle droid are pretty neat. Worth a read.

The author does a good job of getting everyone to a single place for a showdown, but in the end it is not very satisfying. Setting up a planet to blow and having it easy to shut down is a big plot hole. But worse is the fact that all the casualties among the main characters are all weak-willed men (or at least, their female companions are portrayed as stronger than them). It is basically the same thing as if the genders were switched so it is as unsatisfying. Really the weakest of the three books in the series, though of course the necessary conclusion.

Short but worth the read. An adventure of Beo's brother Octa. This is listed as Bernicia Chronicles 3.5 but that was only publication date, chronologically it should be 0.5, as it occurs before book 1.

If you like the Saxon Chronicles, you will like this series.

A bit thin on psychology but this works out because it is mostly first person with someone young. The later novels get better. Worth the read, and not bad really.

Vital, and worth the 1,000+ page slog. The data is excellent. The difference between income disparity and wealth disparity is worth the effort alone.

Great continuation of the series, have waited for a long time for this, and it was worth waiting for. Murderbot is back, along with ART and Murderbot 2.0.
