I've read most of the New Jedi Order books, and I like them. There are a few exceptions, but most of them are very well written. One of the major differences from previous books is that the "must live" list of characters seems severely reduced, and a fair number of those still on it are largely peripheral characters in most of the books. This means there is actually the occasional moment of suspense where you really do wonder whether a particular protagonist is going to make it out alive. In particular, there are enough Jedi now that being one doesn't automatically put you on the list of characters that can't die. Heck, it doesn't even guarantee that you'll be a major character any more; at least two Jedi get knocked off in the same scene where they're introduced.

Sounds interesting could you PM me a full list of the New Jedi Order books?
