This book was very well written. The story moved at a good pace. No trudging through a multitude of pages waiting for some action.
Not having seen the movie (yet, waiting for the Blu-ray), I pre-ordered this book August 31, 2016 and think it is a wortwhile, very good adaption, as stated by the publisher with additional scenes giving more insight.
Well, that remains to be seen, when compared to the movie. Will add to this review then, or add that as a comment.
Dark, so far as I remember from the official Star Wars movies/books the highest body-count. Body-count being counted as viewed deaths on-screen, so killing and showing 10 people during combat counts, blowing up a city or a moon does not count, as you do not see the people die.
Reasonably fast read, also as I did only know the other parts of the story (Princess Leia, RIP Carrie Fisher meeting R2D2/C-3Po etc.), only few things where obvious. Some twists where not, and the newly introduced persons where complex and well written, mostly. The blind Jedi was a bit repetitive with his chanting and musings, and could have been deeper and more developed.
Recommended, even for non-Star Wars-fans. But normal fans will get more out of this book.

I am a FAN of Rogue One and Cassian Andor with everything in me!! This expanded on some POVs that I would’ve loved to see in the movie, I feel fed and satisfied 😌
“Just a smile so ordinary it seemed to change Jyn from a hero out of myth into a women he might have known and understood.
He hadn’t known her, didn’t know her, of course. There wasn’t the time.”
Jyn and Cassian invented love
Nothing more perfect than two people meeting, being actual soulmates, being so similar they can’t stand the other but still changing and inspiring each other for the better, and dying in each other’s arms, breathing and hearts matching, no kiss or love declaration shared asfghhjkjkhjg

“Was this hope? Facing fear after fear, for oneself and for friends and for the galaxy, all out of some desperate need to accomplish the impossible?”

Adds a lot to the movie ! I took the movie for granted but this story is amazing and the characters are even better still sad but a story if martyrs will never get old

3) reading this made the ending hurt more
