This young adult novel fills in the blanks about what Jyn was doing for the years involving Saw and her journey to becoming a rebel, like the title suggests. The book had a fairly good pace, and was easy to read. I liked Revis' development of Jyn's character, and I think it was spot on. Overall, a good addition to the new Star Wars Canon.

I got this free on the Amazon Kindle store so figured I might as well give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised. It had elements of sci-fi but the usual Young adult genre fit right in. I enjoyed learning about all the characters and finished this book rather quickly. I am now on the second and there are 2 more after that!

I actually really enjoyed the first book in this series. It’s got decent world building and character development. It suffers a bit from the trend to make absolutely every young adult sci-fi/fantasy novel into a series, which means you’ll be left hanging a bit at the end. Gotta keep you coming back for more.

Overall, the first book gave me high hopes for the series.

Classic

I watched this when I was a young teen and was completely captivated by it. The imagery, pageantry... the entire simplicity of it all made this a must watch. Now in my adult years I still can't get enough of this classic that caused an uproar back in the day. Even my children that range in age 16 to 28 have seen this with me.

Aimed at a young adult audience, this had a little of the feel of the His Dark Materials trilogy. I found it an easy read, and read it in under one day. I was underwhelemed on the whole - I thought the ending was unsatisfying and anti-climactic and most of the characters 2-dimentional and under-developed. Some of it seems pointless and some of it unexplained.
