It's come to my attention that the posters on NJOE are very judgemental when it comes to the liking and disliking characters, plot lines, books, etc. So I thought I'd just get it over with and lay my cards on the table for anyone who cares.

First of all, I loved Anakin Solo. I mean really, I loved him. He was and is my favorite character of all time. I think it must be a teenager thing. It took me years to reconcile with Troy Denning (cut me some slack; I was eleven and needed someone to blame). But then he went and wrote the bug books. If you're a bug, I've got nothing against you personally, but the "What are we gonna do with the illegitimate daughter" and "OMG R2 actually record the prequel trilogy" subplots nonwithstanding, DN was non-stop bugs. It grated on my nerves.

And just as I was forgiving Denning for the bugs, he gives us Invincible. Now let me make something perfectly clear; I liked Invincible. I loved how Jacen died (I'm a firm believer in multiply personalities) and how everything flowed together. I was unhappy that so many subplots were left unresolved and even more upset when I learned that they are not likely to be resolved any time soon.
