Rebel Stand, Rebel DreamWho liked these books? I LOVED them, they had so much action, with humor and drama chucked in. I think they are a worthy addition to the NJO.

Haha! Luke didn't mention that his clothes weren't food. I totally hated that Sheesh died though, she was so awesome!

You mean Viqi Shesh? I never liked her a lot...
I liked Stand & Dream, although my favourites are still Traitor, Star by Star and The Final Prophecy. I like seeing the main characters evolving, the most interesting ones being of course Jacen's and Tahiri's, in my opinion.

I knew "Sheesh" didn't sound right; but yes, I do mean Shesh. I enjoyed Traitor and Destiny's Way... Star by Star kinda got me down.

Well, I enjoyed Star by Star and Destiny's Way, Traitor kinda got me down.

Haha. Why, though? Vergere is so uplifting!

Having it written in "Real-Time" was just so wierd.
Seeing "Jacen runs to X, then says "Blah, Blah," then walks over here," looked weird. IUt was also really hard to follow.

Ah, then don't read I, Jedi. It is more or less the same kind of transition. It was hard to follow in places but overall so good.

I read it, it weasn't like that at all, its "I switched to protons," not "I switch to protons"

Emperor Shadow

To me it's the same kind of difference.

How? I, Jedi is written like any other SW book, Traitor is written weirdly.
|
Emperor Shadow
|
Nah, I, Jedi is totally in first person, Traitor was simply dialogue.

Whats wrong with first person? I said I have a problem with present tense in books, as they are meant to tell stories, which implies the story has already happened.
YAY! 1,000th post!! Yipee!

Kudos. Welcome to the club.

I really liked the first person style, though. It was like being in an atemporal dimension, where time doesn't pass (which was exactly what the author pretended, I'm sure. I don't even know how many months was Jacen with the Yuuzhan Vong  )

Thats what I didn't like about it, it didn't seem like it was telling a story, rather showing ithappening, and it was odd.
