Star Wars: Knight Errant by John Jackson Miller

400 pp. Set a thousand years before the Star Wars films, this expanded universe novel follows the exploits of young Jedi Knight Kerra Holt as she makes her way through war-ravaged Sith space. Her misadventures take her from one power-mad Sith Lord to another as she attempts to find her way back to Republic-controlled space.

I'm not sure why I keep reading Star Wars novels, because they all have such terrible endings. They just end, with no real sense of closure for any of the characters. It's very frustrating. But Kerra is a likeable character, and the various Sith Lords are entertaining.

Juliette has escaped to Omega Point. It is a place for people like her - people with gifts - and it is also the headquarters of the rebel resistance.
She's finally free from The Reestablishment, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, and free to love Adam. But Juliette will never be free from her lethal touch.
Or from Warner, who wants Juliette more than she ever thought possible.
In this exhilarating sequel to Shatter Me, Juliette has to make life-changing decisions between what she wants and what she thinks is right. Decisions that might involve choosing between her heart - and Adam's life.
