I don't know what I was expecting from this book, but it exceeded expectations. It's a junior novel primarily in length, and is as well-written as many adult and YA books in Star Wars canon. It's enjoyable getting into Ezra's hijinks before he joins up with the crew of the Ghost, and we all know that Bossk shows up all over the place, making him a good addition. Overall, a good story.

When first going into this book you have to keep in mind this is a story that is geared towards a younger audience. With that being said, it was an interesting tale that tied in the bounty hunter Bossk with Ezra's adventures and leads right up into the beginning of Rebels. It was interesting to see Bossk again and how he interacted with a child he didn't know. The story is a good recommendation for youths who enjoy Star Wars or for any hardcore Star Wars fan that would like to expand on their knowledge if the lore of this universe as long as they don't mind going through a read that is a bit childish.

Not a bad junior novel. The writing was reasonably fast-paced and in many ways, it felt very bond-esk. The ending was good but could have gone without trying too hard to connect to Star Wars: Rebels. I can think of so many other better wars it could have connected.

I have only read a few of the books tied to Rebels and most of them are an adaptation of episodes. I really enjoy reading them regardless. However, this story was an original one that takes place just before the start of the series. I think that is part of the strength of this novel. I enjoyed more than the others, simply because it's original. This was a fun, short adventure with Ezra and Bossk. There is plenty of action and the characters were written authentically. The Rebels characters are great. I would love more adult and YA novels of their adventures. Perhaps some day we will get more.

A cute kids' story, but not much here for older audiences. But it's such a quick read it's still mostly enjoyable.

This was my son’s bedtime story. We read one and enjoyed then decided to go back and start from the beginning.
I have to admit that this one was just okay. I’m not really sure what it was about it, but we didn’t enjoy this as much. But we will continue one with them, as he is a big Star Wars fan.
