I did enjoy this book. The story was fun and as it went I got more and more invested to see how everything would pan out.

3.0

Not Ciena explaining away the destruction of an entire planet while simultaneously screaming about her honor at every possible turn…

Also, Nash made my skin crawl. 

3 stars for the way the Empire’s machinations and methods of indoctrination were fleshed out. It almost read like a horror novel because, well, it kind of was. Other than that, I really didn’t like the main characters at all and spent most of the story feeling frustrated, especially with Ciena.

Childhood best-friends, turned academic rivals, turned lovers, turned complete moral/mortal enemies is so goddamn elite I am….. obsessed….. 

Here’s the thing, I tabbed the ever-loving fuck out of this book. The first half, absolutely 5⭐️, god tier Star Wars content. The second half of the book slipped more into 4⭐️ territory as one of the main characters I just did not sympathize with at all & it took me out of the story a little bit. However, this is such a 10/10 entryway star wars book I think & it covers the entirety of the original trilogy in time & has all the familiar characters we all know and love pretty much. It’s super easily accessible, I think someone who has never even seen a star wars movie even could still pick this up & enjoy it honestly. very Romeo & Juliet in space of sorts & it hits

While the book starts off with an engaging premise and interesting characters, the story quickly plateaus and stagnates. The same conversations are rehashed over and over, and character development screeches to a halt half way through the book.
