The Genre Deep Dive Challenge! [Episode 2] 

OOOHHH I'm looking forward to seeing how you get on with both!

Oh cool!! I hope you like Planetside as much as I did. It’s good you’re not grouchy on the newer Star Wars stuff. I did enjoy Mandalorian so I can’t be totally against it. The deeper I’m getting into these SW novels the more I’m enjoying them.

@TheObsessiveBookseller Everyone talks about the Thrawn trilogy and then goes quiet when going back to the early Star Wars books. You mentioned the Xwing series but never heard that brought up before. I imagine there are some booktubers dedicated to Star Wars but I do want to dive that far in.

@@larryladeroute971 I've done half of the first Han Solo trilogy and plan to keep going eventually in the early days of the universe. I found a pretty helpful list: www.yodasdatapad.com/booklist.html My plan right now is to read all of the complete novels in the before Disney era starting after Return of the Jedi on the timeline with the eventual goal of making it to the New Jedi Order. Gradually. I think X-Wing will be next up, as I've realized it's right in between Return of the Jedi and the Thrawn books I just read.

Oh no - how rude!

Yes! I think Old Man's War by Scalzi, Planetside by Mammay, Children of Time by Tchaikovsky, and Leviathan Wakes by Corey are great places to start! I'm not a reader who has a TON of depth into scifi, and I'm sure many other booktubers would hand you the classics first, but these are the ones that kept me page-turning to the end. :)

@@TheObsessiveBookseller Thank you so much! I'll definitely give them a go. I was thinking about Tchaikovsky, since you always recommend his books on your channel, but I wasn't sure if that would be a good start. And now I do:) On the side note: I finished "The Way of Kings" about an hour ago and I still cannot believe how excellent that book was. Luckily I have the next books in the series on my shelf, so I can continue to be mind-blown for some time to come.

@@myszuna9821 That's amazing! I'm so happy you're loving the series so far. I love the first book and think it only gets better from there. I'm hoping to do a reread of Rhythm before the new one comes out in December.
