Three stars because "I liked it" sums up my feelings about it perfectly.
It was nothing AMAZING, nothing TERRIBLE. It was just a middle of the road book. My only complaint is I also feel like not much happened..... I don't know. I did like it, I liked seeing how she got her new Lightsabers and how she got into the rebellion. It just didn't suck me in. Definitely worth reading if you're a huge Star Wars fan, but if you're just luke-warm(get the pun?) about it you could just skip over this book.

Spoiler
I do not understand why Ahsoka went back to the Jedi order and took the job of trying to kill Maul. She left. So why'd she go back asking for a job? I understand she might've still trusted Anakin, and might've wanted to help, but if I were her and walked away from something, I wouldn't even partially go back. The worst part is that the book doesn't expand on this.
Ahsoka quickly became a favorite of mine through watching The Clone Wars and I wanted to love her story as well. And parts of it I did. Her story was interesting and it was nice seeing the start of the Empire and the start of the Rebellion. Parts of the book really sped up and parts were super slow (the middle). Overall, I can't critique the book that much because it was way better than Heir to the Jedi but I just finished Dark Disciple (my favorite) so it's hard to accurately judge Ahsoka. Overall, it's a good read for fans of TCW and people who need to see more world building during the Rise of the Empire. I'm ready for Rebels and just have A New Dawn until I can start watching!
Soy fanático de Star Wars.
No es una confesión, es un hecho del que me enorgullezco. Como fanático, se supone que debo seguir ciegamente lo que la dirección de la afición diga. El problema radica que este libro no me gustó, además de que no puedo recomendarlo por ser demasiado elitista: para entenderlo deberás de haber visto las seis temporadas de Clone Wars.
Las 6.
Completas.
Yo lo hice.
Más de una vez. (Fanático, ¿Recuerdas?).
En estas múltiples sentadas a ver caricaturas, que de niños no tienen nada, pero que mi esposa sentía que ya no tenía edad para verlas; disfruté de ver el desarrollo y aventuras de un nuevo personaje en el universo de Star Wars: Ahsoka Tano.
Ahsoka pasó de ser un insufrible personaje sacado de la manga que se colocaría como el nuevo compañero (Padawan) de Anakin Skywalker, a convertirse en una fuerza en sí misma. Tanto que el final de 6 temporadas, se posicionó como uno de mis personajes favoritos. (Fanático, ¿Recuerdas?)
El problema con este libro es que no aportó nada nuevo. Sirve como un innecesario enlace para unir dos franquicias de caricaturas: Clone Wars y Star Wars Rebels.
Vale mencionar que es el primer libro de Star Wars que leo. Es mi primer experiencia fuera de las películas o las series mencionadas antes.
Pero la experiencia no me gustó y dudo que la vuela a repetir.

This was ok. It wasn’t amazing but it also wasn’t horrible. Plot and characterization wise it read a lot like an episode of The Clone Wars. I just feel like it needed more. Like, Ahsoka thinks about the tragedy of Order 66 and just sort of brushes it aside after a tiny sad moment. Just because it’s a YA novel doesn’t mean that it can’t deeper and explore the trauma and grief that Ahsoka would be experiencing.

I wasn't really expecting much out of this book. I was pleasantly surprised. I loved how the time between Clone Wars and Rebels is shown. I loved the interactions between characters we already know after the greatest betrayl they had probably ever felt.
Kate knows her Star Wars. I laughed and shed a tear (or two) reading Ashoka. I look forward to reading more.

She my fav but this book was just OKAY. I do love that there was a lesbian crush toward Ahsoka. I mean….it me. Someone wrote my fan fic except Ahsoka here is only quizzical and that prolly mostly cause Ahsoka tryna keep us alive and has no time for that. The lead up to Fulcrum was nice tho. I liked seeing Senator Organa too!

ADAPTING TO A WORLD WITH NEW ORDERS
rating: ★★★★
✩‧₊˚ background✧.*
After the events of Order 66 and the end of the Clone Wars, Ahsoka Tano begins hiding her identity under the name Ashla, living on a distinct planet. As the Empire grows in power, Ahsoka lives in her memories of the Clone Wars, of her life in the Jedi Order. Life with her master. With an inquisitor discovering that she is alive and Ahsoka struggling to keep her new friends safe, she must decide whether she is ready to join the fight again.
✩‧₊˚ review ✧.*
As a fan of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels, I was excited to read this book and find more about what happened to Ahsoka after Order 66 and before she joined the Rebellion under the code name Fulcrum. I loved the little sections of where it gives flashbacks on life during the Clone Wars, especially at the beginning with Ahsoka's fight with Darth Maul on Mandalore right before Order 66 was declared. Being honest, for a book focused on Ahsoka, I feel like it could have used more of the character in the plot. I felt like the other characters were being given more attention rather than the main character. Senator Bail Organa's role in the story was used very well, as he had known Ahsoka survived and brought her back to the fight. (I also love how Leia got a little role too, as she is now under Organa's care). I loved how the backstory of her new white lightsabers was projected, and I found it beautiful. Ahsoka's reunion with R2-D2 was so adorable, he was definitely so happy to see her again (and the last time he saw her was before she left for the Siege of Mandalore
T-T).
Now I'm going to bring in some quotes that I want to scream over:
"They're gone. They're dead, and now it's just you."
If only she knew that her master has become something much worse, and the other master she was close with is hiding on a desert planet to watch over a little boy.
"'“I hope Kaeden needs something else fixed soon,' she said under her breath to a nonexistent R2-D2.”
SHE MISSES HIM SO MUCH-
“Why had she survived? She wasn’t the most powerful; she wasn’t even a Jedi Knight, and yet she was still alive when so many others had died.”
Ahsoka feels so guilty here that she survived Order 66. She had left the Jedi Order a long time ago, and even when she came back to help fight, she didn't fully join the Jedi Order again. She was still only a Padawan, and now a survivor with no master to guide her. She doesn't know who survived Order 66, but Ahsoka feels it inside that all those she knew and cared for are gone.
“Did your parents bicker?” she asked. “The adoptive ones, I mean.”
ANAKIN AND OBI-WAN ARE SO HER PARENTS
“Fulcrum,” she said. “You can call me Fulcrum.”
I CHEERED AT THIS LINE
✩‧₊˚ recommend? ✧.*
I recommend this book to all Star Wars fans, especially those who are fans of Ahsoka Tano, Clone Wars, and Rebels. The story of Ahsoka Tano is legendary, and her character will continue to live on in such amazing lore.
