So I've been aiming to read the new canon novels.

Finished reading The Force Awakens novelization. And am about halfway thru Bloodline. Next up will be the Aftermath trilogy.

Quick short reviews...

TFA Novelization -- absolute crap. Alan Dean Foster is a shit writer. Really makes you hate wanting to read on. I labored thru that book. Would not recommend whatsoever. He added NOTHING to that TFA world that merits giving the book a read.

Bloodline -- written by Claudia Gray. Much better writer. But still a crap writer. She's a woman, and as a woman, her writing is typically womanly, focused on things women focus on. Enjoying the book more, an easier read. And the subject matter is a little interesting -- Leia post ROTJ and pre TFA. Where no one knows she is Darth Vader's daughter as she climbs the halls of political power. When Ben Solo is still only a young boy and her and Han are still married. I'd recommend the read, but not highly recommend.

I'll update with my thoughts on the Aftermath trilogy when I get around to reading all three books.
