To me a lot of the prequel series legends books that came out were just exceptionally well done and really vested you in the characters.
The ROTS trilogy of Labyrinth of evil, revenge of the Sith and Darth Vader rise of the Dark Lord is a great read and really bring a lot to the main characters.
Even the Darth Maul books, and the Darth Plageius books to me are must reads.
When I went back through a lot of the original legends books like the Thrawn trilogy for example they aged badly. The future stuff Legacy and Fate of the Jedi had these amazing moments in them, but Fates kind of petered out and became silly when it tried to link itself to the Clone Wars series.
Unfortunately the now Canon EU books just don't match up to the quality and story telling of the Legends books.
