UGH, I so wanted this novel to be good. This book basically attempted to fix what the Last Jedi messed up.
For one, I'm not completely sold on the author. I hadn't ever read anything she'd written before, and this book didn't exactly want me to pick up anything else by her. Having her write this novel was a mistake, someone more established and proven should have been the one to write this novel.
The novel picks up right after the Last Jedi. There's a semi-emo Poe, trying to get over the clusterf-ck of what Rian Johnson did to his character. The return of Wedge was highly anti-climactic, and I don't really understand why it was done. I'm assuming he ends up with a larger role in Rise of Skywalker? Who knows?
Also, Leia was on Ryloth and Hera WASN'T in the book? Fail, and a mistake.
Overall, the characters were wooden, and it was a highly predictable book. Maybe it was essential reading? We'll see in a month.
