5 Amazing Audio Stars
Seriously, if you’re a Star Wars fan then this interlude between the movies The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker will serve as a fantastic adventure portraying the Resistance trying to get their bearings after devastating losses.
Mainly focusing on Poe, as he struggles to become the leader needed in times of severe crisis, this tells of the remaining Resistance members that take up 3 missions to start anew, each with their own risky challenges that could end up in capture or death.
Bringing aboard new allies and revisiting old friends, this was full of very high stakes gripping action, with a touch of good feels that plays on the camaraderie and team building that is evident in all the movies. Hope is not lost and is always the strongest motivator that drives the Resistance who has little recourse but still has plenty of grit to keep fighting the good fight.
I obviously had a lot of fun with this, made really only possible by the outstanding narration by Marc Thompson, who uncannily sounds like Poe and Finn and brings each and every character to stark life. Embellished with plenty of sound effects and the original score, this was like partaking in a movie for the ears, and it was a truly impressive immersive experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I thought it was such a nice tie in to the movies and really connects episode 8 and 9. This book mainly focuses on Poe's redemption and stresses and shows more of the ongoing battle the resistance is facing.
Seeing these characters in multiple medias really adds a lot for me. I loved the way Leia was portrayed and how wise she is said to be by many of the characters.
Recommended for: Anyone looking for more Star Wars content and who wants more Poe and Finn content lol

There were so many plots going on, I just wish this was a little longer.
