I’d been putting off reading this title for years. Honestly, I haven’t been a huge fan of Disney’s take on Star Wars—except for Andor and Rogue One. Because of that, I’ve spent most of my time exploring the Expanded Universe instead.
So when I finally picked up this debut title, I was in for a real treat! From the very first chapters, I felt that familiar thrill of the Classic Trilogy. The author managed to capture the pacing and energy of those original films in a way that reminded me of Timothy Zahn’s work. Even better, the story treats the canon with respect and delivers one exciting moment after another.
If I had to point out one downside, it would be the cliffhanger. It just didn’t land for me—but I won’t spoil the details. That said, I still think this book is more than worth your time if you love the classic Star Wars films. Discovering it felt like reconnecting with the magic that made me fall in love with the galaxy far, far away in the first place.
