Out of the Shadows

NO SHIP FOR YOU. YOU ARE A TERRIBLE PILOT, VERNESTRA RWOH, AND I WILL NOT LET YOU RUIN WHAT IS LEFT OF MY FLEET

Out of the Shadows is the Star Wars book that, for me, comes the closest to just being a comfort book. It's just such a comfy read. The first half of the book is so slow and just takes it's time to settle us into Vern's day to day and how her relationship with Imri is growing. I could read a whole series of books about those two just interacting with everyone on Starlight Beacon and just them hanging out, its all great.

The new characters introduced here are also great, Sylvestri and Jordanna are a great pair and play off each other well whenever they're together and Xylan Graf is a great rich loser, I liked how the book went more into the concept of the Hyperspace Rush and the families that helped chart the routes out. I think that's such a fun idea in Star Wars.

Although it's mainly a chill read theres still a healthy amount of setup for future plot points, especially regarding Vern and her visions which I'm very interested to see where that goes.
