I have not read it. But what I've read about it and heard people say about it has me really excited to read it. And I barely even know who she is. I JUST met her last night.

Guys, I am not a moderator! I swear to God! Why does everyone think I'm a moderator?

One of the things I did enjoy about the Clone Wars cartoons was her story. I'll let you know about the book.

I'm going to wait until next year, I think. But I'm going to pick up Catalyst and Tarkin after I see Rogue One and give those a go. If I like them as much as I expect to, I'll grab the Ahsoka book. Probably going to skip Aftermath and Life Debt for now. Maybe I'll around to those at some point. But the stuff before A New Hope is more interesting to me.

The aftermath and life debt just don't pay off. The finale is out in may I think.

I've heard Tarkin and Bloodline (Leia) are the best of the new cannon books. Can anyone confirm?
Can 100% confirm. Tarkin is a great read and wonderful addition to the canon. Vader is in it and it gets into his and tarkins relationship. Tarkin has a notion that he's Anakin (who he fought beside on a few occasions) but being the operator he is it never comes up. Wonderful read.
Also you'd be crazy not to read lords of the Sith. AWFUL title but probably my favourite of the new canon. It's really just about Vader and the emperors relationship in one thread and a rebel faction storyline thread and the two come together.
Captures the feel and lesser explored element of Star Wars meaning the true nature of the relationship with Vader and The emperor. All is not what it seems. So well written too. Cinematic.

Nice, thanks for the feedback! Have you read Bloodline? I heard it adds a nice story to Leia post ROTJ and pre TFA, and how here "bloodline" with Vader hurt her in the eyes of the New Republic. Sounds pretty interesting, and definitely not a happy post Endor ending for her.

Bloodline is essential. It's almost west wing in Star Wars and it's heartbreaking cos you see what happens to her and her position in the new republic an how that evolves or devolves into leading the resistance. And that is heartbreaking in the telling of it. You'll enjoy force awakens 100 times more if you read bloodline and then watch it again.
It's required reading but far more political intrigue and subterfuge than a typical rollicking Star Wars story.
Ps rian Johnson collaborated with the author to tie things into 8 as well. So this will get more important as we go forward.
I'm guessing the answer is no but... is there a sort of history book out there about canon? I don't want novels and adventures. I'm looking for a good run down of the events of the new canon as we know them so far. More like an entertaining fictional history than a novel.

They have all kinds of ultimate guides that have timeline things in them and more on the way. But at the moment I don't think there's a dedicated one no.

Cool. Thanks. I didn't think so. I'll just browse the ultimate guides and see what I see.
