Twilight Company

I was keeping this book for last in my readings of the new Star Wars canon, mostly because I didn't think this one would interest me that much. I figured this one would spend most of its time on the war, at the cost of developing its characters, but boy was I wrong.

Don't get me wrong though, there's still plenty of battles and fighting in this, and there's characters that you'll grow to like that will eventually die (and you won't be there to witness all of them), but it's still a thrilling read.

We follow various POV characters throughout the book, but the main character is Hazram Namir, a sergeant in Twilight Company. He's a rebel who doesn't believe in the rebellion, which I found very interesting. Though he does get very frustrating at times, but it's also part of what I like about it. He's not 100% a good guy.
We also follow some other characters in Twilight Company, and then also other sides of the war - like the Imperial side and even that of one of the Stormtroopers. It was interesting to see their motivation and why they were doing what they were doing, but in the end I think I would have liked to spend a bit more time with them, just so their stories would have a bit more impact than they did.

But overall, a very enjoyable read. When it was time for the Hoth battle (and its aftermath) I could not put it down. I also very much enjoyed the characters a lot. Even the ones I was never sure how to feel about (looking at you, Governor Chalis!) but I didn't think there was ever a weak point.
