*butts in*

First one is called Betrayal. It's sitting in my to-read pile, though I don't anticipate getting to it soon. It looks to be another "years later" type deal, which is a storytelling trick that's really starting to annoy me (cheap cop-out, showing character change without explaining actual character growth).

NJO kinda spoiled me for continuing storylines. Picking up the Swarm War left me feeling like I'd missed a few novels-worth of character development. Too "movie" and not enough "TV," so to speak.

The Swarm War took a little getting into for me too, mainly in the space sequences that started to lose sense of scale (IMHO), with the space-based hand-to-hand sequences (seeming to forget just how big X-Wings are). The Jedi are getting a bit too superpowered.

And the whole Jacen/Tenel Ka bit was. . . awkward, both in terms of continuity and character.

That said, Saba Sebatyne is rapidly becoming my favourite Star Wars character. Wacky fun.
