This was a lot of fun and I think it did a great job of highlighting why Leia's diplomatic skills are badass, in addition to her fighting skills. I think it's perfect for its intended MG audience.
I will say, there is a character who is from an alien species called the Abednado, and this character was very literal and socially awkward, and the whole time I was like Uh is this Space Abed Nadir? To be honest I found Space Abed to be a little tiresome, but I think the character would resonate more with the book's intended audience.
Also there are a couple pretty emotional noble, sacrificial deaths and I was like holy shit this book is getting dark. But I guess it's on par with like, Obi-Wan's death in A New Hope, so if a kid has already seen Star Wars this book shouldn't be anything they can't handle?
