This story continues where the first book left off and I must say that I have fallen head over heels in love with the continuing story line. Superbly crafted, well written with characters that pull you in quickly and keep you wanting more. This is truly a beautiful and moving story. You cannot pass this book up as you will be missing out on the ride of your life!

A very kinetic action-packed issue moving the story along. We get to see lots of these to make fans happy. Admiral Raddus and Ackbar as well as King Lee-Char. Lots of Vader doing whatever he wants. I was not hugely excited by the new Jedi reveal as it was a new character. Still liked the issue for the action but one of the flatter issues in the series.

This movie has done a wonderful job of staying close to its comic book roots. The visual effects are beautiful and believable.The storyline keeps it moving with a surprise near the end. Jason Momoa is absolutely perfect for this tough guy , coming of age, softie character. He knows what's important and fights to protect it. My 13 year old son who says he " HATES SUPERHEROES " loved this is movie.

This is a fantastic romantic comedy read from this author. This book is full of whit and humor. The characters are amazing and have fantastic chemistry between them. This is a fast moving, funny, sexy story which will keep you hooked from the first page. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended

This movie wasn't well received, however I really enjoyed it, the patterns and themes that pass throughout the story are clever, sublime and very moving at times as Ellie struggles with loss and the drive that consumes her every waking hour as she strives to answer one of the biggest unanswered questions, and those with closed minds try to stop her, listen to the many absorbing commentaries. Fascinating!

Mary and Joseph deal with the fallout of getting married despite the fact that Mary is pregnant. However, with the political forces in play, what danger might they face. This was a slow moving book. The fictional characters were interesting, but it wasn't enough to save the book.

Another amazing first read win! The note that came with the book said for ages 14-18 but it was such a real and moving story that I would recommend it to anyone. I felt Kai's pain, chuckled at some parts, and cried a couple times as well. Loss impacts everyone's lives at some point or another and this book shows how life can go on after loss.

I actually thing I like this better than they both die at the end now - after reading this it makes you think about your life - I mean, I was in his place years ago and it brought back so many memories - pushing past your fears/issues and moving into a new phase of life is so astounding sometimes - anyone with depression should truly read this book - it's absolutely spectacular.

Didn't agree with the hype
I found this book slow moving, particularly the first 40%. Julianne as a character was interesting and engaging. Gabriel, however, I found hard to figure out and his character inconsistent. Some of his dialogue was difficult to believe. The premise for the story was good, although more could have been made of the forbidden aspect. I am unsure whether I will read the next ones.

I thought I'd really like this, but I just didn't. I understand what they were doing with the characters, but the first volume seemed to drag on without anything major happening. Everything that happened seemed not to propel the story forward in an enticing way. It almost seemed repetitive, though they WERE moving forward. This first volume just "was". Maybe others will enjoy it more than I did.
