I'd rather be reading them than the Dark Nest crisis or Vong novels tbh.

Still need to read all the novels that just released.

Damn, it doesn't really reveal much in the summary for Aftermath.
I'm curious about the new canon novels, how will they write Jedi? I'm not used to reading books where they aren't fighting faster than the eye can see and whatnot.
I wouldn't worry really, the Jedi/Sith will probably still have their speed. Even in the movie novels, you had everyone moving at or reacting at super speeds. Heck even in the movies, you had them moving in blurs(IE Luke against Vader on Bespin).
So I'm sure, Jedi/Sith will still have pretty nifty reaction/speeds and the like, especially since in the movies this is already shown.

Re: 20 NOVELS?! Journey to The Force Awakens!
The problems is that force awaken have huge problem with the scenario......
There is a lot of rumor about it... They don't know where are they going....
Granted the EU was hurt quite badly by prequelisation but we still had works like "Tales of the Jedi" and "Children of the Jedi" to provide a positive influence. The New Jedi Order and the series that followed it still continued on what was established prior to prequelisation.
Now, now, they'll be based entirely on the Prequels. What little variety we had left will now be non-existent. Before we had examples of Jedi who were different to the PT-era so when some moron went "how can Luke have a son?" we could explain it to them. Now I'm afraid they'll have Luke being a copy of the PT Jedi even though that makes no sense at all.
These new books will be lame.

Nah, remember the Legends stuff can still work their way into the new canon. TOTJ and all the Old Republic stuff can still be used to write Jedi.

Nobody gives a shit about what happens between ROTJ and TFA.
