Book Rating

I absolutely loved this book, I read a lot and I have only ever cried once (The Green Mile) but Stephenie Meyer made me laugh, cry, get angry and annoyed.
The characters are relatable and complex and the plot is great and imagination that went into this is astounding.
I was reading a few comments about the book on here and it seems to me that most people seem not to like this book out of some preconceived opinion because they did not like the ending of Twilight.
I happened to love the ending of the Twilight saga, I think it fitted the story but even if I didn't you always start reading a new book with a fresh open mind.
If you start reading a book thinking i'm gonna hate it, then you will hate it.
I will be recommending this book :)

In general, Disney is making reading the books essential to the overall Skywalker Saga. I learned that the hard way after the Last Jedi.
The beginning of the book picks up right after the sub-standard book Phasma book, also by Dawson. Vi Moradi is the main character in this book, and I didn't really like her previously. The rest of the book picks up after the Resistance was basically destroyed. Vi goes with another character from Phasma, Cardinal (or whatever his real name is) to Bantuu, which is the planet featured at Disney Parks' Galaxy's Edge.

Again, this is filling time in between the Last Jedi and the impending Rise of Skywalker. So, it is useful to read, to know what exactly is going on. This is the only reason I rated this as 'ok'.
