Is it worth to read Star Wars novels? (lemmy.eco.br)

I feel like it will be bad because authors won't have freedom to make things their way.

Should I spend my time reading it or look for a long series of a single author?

I've enjoyed dozens of them over the course of my twenty something years being into SW. Currently I'd recommend the Plagueis, Tarkin, the Thrawn books, and the Bane trilogy. Apparently I like villain books. I've also enjoyed the Karen Traviss Clone Trooper books but they got cancelled for canon reasons due to the TCW series.

Authors have plenty of freedom unless you're talking about novelizations of the films.

Apparently I like villain books.

I joked to a friend that a disproportionate number of my Star Wars books have "Darth" in the title.
