The narration is almost like stage directions. The story is driven heavily by dialogue, and it fails to create a sense of inner turmoil or decision making. We’re vaguely aware that Han Solo is trying to liberate the wookie home world, but see very little of it until the end. It’s all bureaucracy and administration without the flair that makes the politics dramatic and detrimental to the galaxy. The Empire is crumbling, we got that from the first book, and its survivors are pushing it into something else: the First order. This really doesn’t have a lot going for it. Instead, Wendig gives us a load of bantha fodder: he gives us some watered down semblance of the Star Wars universe. It’s supposed to be about light verses darkness and the struggles of those that full between the boundaries of morality it is supposed to be about those that struggle to find a sense of self in a galaxy torn between chaotic freedom and totalitarian control: it is supposed to be dramatic and conflicted with emotion and power. It’s like the author had a one chapter situation, two at best, and he milked it for an entire excruciatingly dull novel. Read on if my single word wasn’t enough to convince you. So I might as well do the same in my review when one word would serve as a conduit of my opinions. I mean it’s the least I could do considering how this book is packed full of filler material and worthless storytelling. That’s all I’ve got to say about this book. Trust me you will known it when you read it. There is also some of the background framework leading to the Force Awakens as well. I also like the way the original are used, I love one of the line used to describe Leia "there is more rouge in her, the in him". This book is great character development, if the first 3/5 of the book was a little bit faster paced I would have definitely given this 5 stars. When they get a mission from mission/call for help from a certain princess who is know not to play by the rules herself this brings them in conflict with not only the New Republic, but eachother as well. However to a few of the doing the right thing, or doing it for free is new. Who is ferociously loyal to his creater Temmin.ĭispite the teams mismatched members or because of all the different skill sets they get results. Mr Bones, a psychopathic, reprogrammed and modified battle droid. Temmin who is Norra's son, and talent for engineering, and possibly piloting but need practice and focus. Jom an by the book Rebel/New Republic commando. She does not help her case by doing things own way, dispite the plan. Jas a bounty hunter who worked mainly for the Rebellion during the Empire's era however many still see her as a "dirty bounty hunter". Sinjir a former Imperial loyalty officer who (as far as I know one of the first homosexual characters in Star Wars) find a different kind of prejudice in the New Republic Norra a decorated Rebellion ere pilot (who was one of the survivors of the attract on the second Death Star) has been leading her mismatched team to hunt down Imperials. The first 3 parts are quite slow and more of a setup for the final two parts these are extremely fast paced and well done. Leia, Han, and Chewie play a big part in this book. It definitely boasts much more star power character wise from the original Star Wars trilogy. I definitely enjoyed this book more that the first book. But they can't anticipate the true depth of the danger that awaits them or the ruthlessness of the enemy drawing them into his crosshairs. The attempt to liberate Kashyyyk has carried Han Solo, Chewbacca, and a band of smugglers into an ambush resulting in Chewie's capture and Han's disappearance.īreaking away from their official mission and racing toward the Millennium Falcon's last known location, Norra and her crew prepare for any challenge that stands between them and their missing comrades. But the hunt for Sloane is cut short when Norra receives an urgent request from Princess Leia Organa. Even as more and more officers are brought to justice, Sloane continues to elude the New Republic, and Norra fears Sloane may be searching for a means to save the crumbling Empire from oblivion. Meanwhile, Norra Wexley and her band of Imperial hunters pursue Grand Admiral Rae Sloane and the Empire's remaining leadership across the galaxy. For Han Solo, that means settling his last outstanding debt, by helping Chewbacca liberate the Wookiee's homeworld of Kashyyyk. As the New Republic fights to restore a lasting peace to the galaxy, some dare to imagine new beginnings and new destinies. The Emperor is dead, and the remnants of his former Empire are in retreat. Set between the events of Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, the never-before-told story that began with Star Wars: Aftermath continues in this thrilling novel, the second book of Chuck Wendig s New York Times bestselling trilogy.
