I can see why this trilogy doesn't have the same love as others. The characters are pale shades of those we've come to know.
The wrap-up was super heavy on the Dues Ex to the point I was like, “What? That could have happened at any point, why drag this story out three books?”
Definitely a one and done read for me.
Overall an enjoyable read. Keeping in mind it's YA it just wasn't what I was hoping for.
The cast was pretty fun, but kind of shallow in some ways. We got a ton of details on this aspect or another and next to none on others.
If YA was my genre I'd likely be at least moderately excited for the next installment.
My local bookstore did a promotion giving away the print version of this book on indie bookstore day. I walked down just to get it and say hi.
Fun fact the print is really small, so I tracked down the ebook from the publisher, and bought that. The paperback will be gifted to help spread the word.
I've been leery of Amazon for a while, and seeing how things work as an author only re-inforced my worries.
Danny's words resonated and helped push me further from giving amazon my money.
I didn't love it. Partially because with these older “legends” books they were releasing fast and furious and several times the characters mentioned things I didn't remember from the previous book, so was left wondering if I missed a book. Meh not the end of the world.
A pretty solid Star Wars adventure overall just not amazing.
I enjoyed it, I love the characters. This one felt like filler. There was some action, but it wasn't really “moving the story” action. It felt more like, “Gotta have action, here's a battle”
That said, I really love the characters, I'll keep reading. A series this long is bound to have a few slower paced episodes.
