Welcome back to the Biweekly Book Review, and more importantly, welcome to the High Republic, brand-new era of storytelling set some 200 years before The Phantom Menace! If I was excited for this new publishing program before, purely because it meant more books to read, it’s nothing compared to how pumped I am now thatContinue reading “Biweekly Book Review: The High Republic: Light of the Jedi”

Surprise! One last book review for the year! In the grand tradition of this time of year, consider this a “Biweekly Book Review Holiday Special” rather than a full-on book review. This is just going to be a mini review, as there isn’t a ton to really dive into. The entire book is a fairlyContinue reading “Biweekly Book Review: The Skywalker Saga”

It’s here. I can’t believe it. The final batch of reviews in the middle grade books, and the last Biweekly Book Review of 2020. Thank you so much for sticking with me, and for joining me on this adventure through this crazy year. The series will be back next year with the movie novelizations, andContinue reading “Biweekly Book Review: Before The Awakening/ Cobalt Squadron/ The Spark Of Resistance”

As the world prepared for the arrival of The Force Awakens, and a whole new generations of Star Wars movies, three middle grade novels were dropped as part of the “Journey to…” publishing program. Though the movies were set to introduce us to a whole new generation of characters, the books are centred around theContinue reading “Biweekly Book Review: The Weapon Of A Jedi/ Smuggler’s Run/ Moving Target”

With the anthologies behind us, it’s time to move into the middle grade books! These are all going to be firsts for me too, since I hadn’t planned on reading them at all at first. Then I got in too deep. Anyway. With a new chunk of books comes a format change! This time, it’llContinue reading “Biweekly Book Review: Guardians Of The Whills/ Lando’s Luck/Pirate’s Price”

Another new release! And within a week no less! The hype surrounding this book was high. I remember the months when people speculated that “Project Luminous”, now known as The High Republic, was a codename for this book. Isn’t it nice that we got both instead? Unlike the first instalment where I had no ideaContinue reading “Biweekly Book Review: From a Certain Point of View – The Empire Strikes Back”

Thinking back on it, I’m pretty sure this is the first canon Star Wars book I picked up. My first Star Wars book period, if we’re not counting novelizations. Back then, I had no idea who 99% of the authors on the cover were. I only bought it because I’d heard Meg Cabot, a bookshelfContinue reading “Biweekly Book Review: From a Certain Point of View”

I LOVED this book. What is it about these Luke Skywalker books that always surprise me? Could it be that deep down I actually like the character, but have instead just come to resent the weird, self-insert sway he holds over many a fanboy? Very possible. This sweet farm kid from Tatooine who shoulders anContinue reading “Biweekly Book Review: Legends of Luke Skywalker”

From the beginning of the timeline, we’re now jumping all the way to the end. I wish there was some kind of cool meta reason for it, but honestly it’s just because of the anthologies remaining, this was the shortest. But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth visiting! The lousy, beautiful town of Canto BightContinue reading “Biweekly Book Review: Canto Bight”

New territory today! It’s time to tackle the anthologies, and hopefully be able to review From A Certain Point Of View: The Empire Strikes Back right when it comes out. Remember last time I set a goal for myself and I missed it by 4.5 months? Good times. We’re going to have a bit ofContinue reading “Biweekly Book Review: Clone Wars: Stories of Light and Dark”
