The new Thrawn books that are "Canon"

While I agree that most of the EU books are poorly written, I would make a few exceptions. These are ones I've read and can personally vouch for:

• Darth Bane series by Drew Karpyshyn
  
• Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader by James Luceno
  
• Deceived by Paul S. Kemp
  
  Deceived is optional, but Dark Lord is where you really see Anakin embrace and become Vader. Darth Bane is a cool series to see how the Sith turned from being many to just Master and apprentice.
  
  I'm currently reading Darth Plagueis but haven't finished, so I can't comment yet. But it's also supposed to be one of the greats, and also essential to understanding the movies from what I've read.
  
  Shatterpoint, Traitor, and Revenge of the Sith by Matthew Stover also seem to get rave reviews here on Reddit. I've gotten about halfway through RotS, and what I can say is that it explains things much better than the film did.
