This is going to be such a messy review but I just loved this book.
As a massive Ahsoka Tano fan, I was so excited to read this book. The more content the better. GIVE US MORE AHSOKA BOOKS AND CONTENT!!!!
—————————————————
WORLD BUILDING/ EXPANSION
—————————————————-
This story is a transition story. Its set not long after Order 66 and Ahsoka is just trying to survive. The first thing that is great about the book, is that it carries on expanding the galaxy. We are introduced to new worlds in the outer rim which I loved. It reinforces to the fan and reader that the galaxy is massive and we still have more things to explore and find.
————————————————-
CHARACTERS AND CHARACTER.
—————————————————
Ahsoka’s growth in this story is amazing. At first she is still very insecure about her abilities and stepping out on her own, but throughout the book we see her grow into the woman we see in Rebels. The wise Jedi.
What aids this growth is that through out the book Ashoka reflects and remembers all the the training and advice that was given to her through out the years of the Clone Wars. From the likes of Rex, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Padmé and Yoda. We also see the affect that the Clone Wars left on her and her struggle to want to fight again. I love this as we really see who Ahsoka is. Throughout the book she has a constant internal struggle which she must over come.
Again just like Queens Shadow, I enjoyed seeing Ahsoka outside of Anakin, yes we do get a flashback of Anakin meeting Ahsoka and she does mention him but the main story is how Ahsoka became apart of the Rebellion and her character growth.
I loved the new characters that were created and to see her create new relationships with old and new characters.
I have always said Ashoka is one of my favourite Jedi and this book just elevates this love.
We also get POVs by the likes of Obi-Wan and Bail Organa which I enjoyed immensely.

Writing
—————————————-
The writing is simple and flows well. You can tell that the writing was done so that it is accessible (not a bad thing)
I definitely recommend this for any Ahsoka fan and it’s a great companion book for the show Rebels.

This was great! The dialogue was a little meh towards the end but I loved the concepts, Ahsoka's story and how it was filled in, and how it connects to the Star Wars Universe! It makes me wish we could have an animated show or miniseries about this period (post Clone Wars, pre Rebels). I also liked the flashback chapters, they were short but done well and filled in interesting gaps. I didn't find a ton of the new characters compelling, but there were a couple that stood out. Overall, a welcome addition to SW canon!
Really really great Star Wars read, one of the better ones out there.
Ahsoka is absolutely one of my favorite characters in Star Wars. I loved seeing where she went between Clone Wars and Rebels. While nothing surprised me about how she got to be where she is in Rebels, it’s still an incredible story and I love seeing some Easter eggs tossed in (especially since I just finished Clone Wars and am in Season 2 of Rebels!)
I know this was published almost 5 years ago, but I would love for Johnston to put out more in Ahsoka’s story!!
Also, definitely listen to the audiobook for this - Ashley Eckstein (voice of Ahsoka in the series) narrates it and there are some great sound effects - including the classes opening theme and credit roll.

I think this book was a great addition to the Star Wars storyline, as well as flushes out Ashoka’s character effectively. I enjoyed getting to explore more of her inner struggles and feelings towards her Jedi past/ seeing how she starts her journey towards the rebellion!
A nice read that is essential if you're an Ahsoka fan. Kind of sad that a bit of it has been retconned in Season 7 of The Clone Wars (and likely further in The Bad Batch depending on how the show continues), but a lot of it is still canon!
The insight we get about Ahsoka's internal journey post-Order 66 in which she's trying to rediscover who she is with respect to the galaxy was great. This character has come such a long way from the 2008 movie, and I believe this novel does a fantastic job of staying in character. It probably helps that I listened to the audiobook as voiced by Ashley Eckstein herself, so I truly felt like I was right there with Ahsoka!
I especially enjoyed seeing how she got her new lightsabers and took on the mantle of Fulcrum! Didn't really care for any of the characters on Raada except for Selda, who we do not see much of.

Ahsoka Tano, the woman that you are!!!
If you, like me, fell hopelessly in love with The Clone Wars and the character of Ahsoka Tano then this book is a must-read. Sure, it’s a bit slow to start, but so is healing, and that’s exactly what we witness here: Ahsoka navigating her life after the fallout of Order 66 and the collapse of everything she once knew.
This book gets her. The internal monologue was such a treat—thoughtful, reflective, and at times, just so Ahsoka. We see her wrestling with grief, guilt, and her new place in a galaxy that’s lost its way, and yet—as always—she perseveres.
For fans of The Clone Wars, this book feels like a hug—a love letter to Ahsoka and everything she represents. She’s strong, she’s brave, and most importantly, she’s still here. 10/10 would follow Ahsoka into battle.

Ahsoka isn't sure where she belongs in the galaxy. The only family that she ever had she left. Now, after Order 66 even the Jedi are gone. The only place that she really belonged has been destroyed and now she is forced to run for her life. Settling on a small farming moon, Ahsoka, or Ashla, believes she can have some peace and grieve her losses. But the Empire reaches far into the galaxy and Ahsoka can't stand by and do nothing. But she'll have to overcome her doubts from the past before she can save the day this time.
Ahsoka has long since been one of my favorite Star Wars characters and I loved seeing where she ended up after Order 66. Johnston did a good job of addressing the issues that Ahsoka has faced and must face moving forward. I enjoyed this tale from a new corner of the galaxy and how it connects to the new cannon.

Fills in the gap between clone wars and rebels quite nicely.
