A great addition to Star Wars canon. If you like the character of Ahsoka you will love this book. Also it's a very fast read.
Definitely not a boring read, and you don't need to be an expert in star wars canon to understand the events.
It describes the character that many of us loved very well.

ahsoka tano the best girl ever <3333
• ”Gone. The Jedi were gone. Ahsoka thought it mercilessly, over and over again-still too afraid to say the words out loud-until she could take the final step: the Jedi were dead. All of them. The warriors, the scholars, the diplomats, the generals. The old and the young. The students and the teachers. They were dead, and there was nothing Ahsoka could do.”
• ”He’d gone to Shmi Skywalker’s grave to apologize for losing her son. He had never met her, knew her only from Anakin’s stories, but Qui-Gon had made her a promise and Obi-Wan hadn't been able to keep it.”
• ”But Anakin had given them to her. She'd walked away from the Jedi temple with nothing but the clothes on her back and had struggled for a long time to find a new place in the galaxy. When she had found a mission, when she had reached out to her former master for help, he had reached back and given her the Jedi weapons to do the job. He'd accepted her return, and it felt like a failure to leave the lightsabers behind a second time.”
• She turned to go, but he rolled over to her again. He made a series of sad sounds.
"I know, little guy" Her heart clenched around the empty spot where Anakin Skywalker used to be. "I miss him, too."

Dull story, but entertaining or at least until it awkwardly shoves in plot points so the story will line up with Star Wars Rebels. In the end, the book was forgettable.
I’ve been keeping all the new canon books I’ve bought. Except after this one, I took it to a local used book store and sold it.
-Would I read a sequel? If it is written by this author, no.

Ahsoka is the first Star Wars novel I’ve read since I was a kid hooked on Jude Watson’s Jedi Apprentice and Jedi Quest series (among other scattered Star Wars books). It’s a fairly quick read that has some good stuff for fans of the Clone Wars and Rebels tv shows, particularly those who love Ahsoka Tano, but it is ultimately a little underwhelming.
My favorite thing about this book is how gives you a glimpse into Ahsoka Tano’s mindset during the early days of the Empire following Order 66. This all felt very much in character for her, though it was often set against a rather dull backdrop. Much of the first two thirds or so of the book saw Ahsoka among characters who were rather hard to care for, and the perspective of the book shifted among characters a little too much since these shifts offered very little payoff. However, there were some interesting flashbacks scattered throughout, and I didn’t mind that they were sometimes from the point of view of characters who don’t otherwise appear in this book since they all added to Ahsoka’s character and story (unlike the other perspective changes).
As the action picked up later in the book, it was refreshing, though a bit uneven. At times it felt more like Star Wars than the rest of the book, but at other times the descriptions were vague and somewhat confusing. The villains in this book never really seemed like much of a threat (at least not to anyone worth caring about), so a lot of tension that could’ve been present in the story just wasn’t there. Even the Inquisitor who kind of served as the big bad was fairly lame.
Ultimately, Ahsoka is carried by the fan favorite title character and her connection to the larger Star Wars universe, but otherwise it falls flat as a mildly entertaining young adult novel. It kind of felt like some of the more mediocre multi-episode arcs of Clone Wars to me.
