These Burning Stars is just what I wanted to read as a Star Wars fan and why I loved the Mandolorian. Bounty hunters, space chases, politics, and misdirection. The world building and lore was strong and left a vivid image of the world you are reading it was like. Even the politics were intricately established and played a background role until it needed to become the segway to the main plot leading to the set up for the second book. The fact that the youth of this world get to choose their gender and name upon finishing school and that it’s
changable is a brilliant concept.
The characters were diverse and complex from their motives, class and descriptions which is a huge breath of fresh air coming over from the Star Wars fandom. It is heartwarming and brutal when it needs to be.Amazing kudos for they twist and how it was set up and blew apart what you knew about the empire sided characters Six and Chono up to that point. I will not stop recommending this book to others and am hungry for the sequel.
