...For some reason, my favorite SW author is often demeaned in these threads, so I'm gonna stick up for him here.
Kevin J. Anderson wrote the Jedi Academy Trilogy and Darksaber, all four of which I greatly enjoy. Anderson can write fairly well, and the characters he creates are memorable and unique...but the other authors trample upon them.
That's my biggest problem with Star Wars novels---the authors all make asses out of each other's characters while raising their own on pedestals. Mike Stackpole honestly unbalances his books with Corran Horn, at times putting him ahead of Luke Skywalker AND Wedge Antilles....ick! Sacrilidgeous!
I honestly can't remember any that I thought were "god awful" that were set AFTER the original movies---though I didn't really enjoy Splinter of the Mind's Eye (too slow!).
Oh, and I'm biased...I've read 55 SW books, or so.
