i mean! idk how to rate cause its a fine book i enjoyed seeing the POV's of all the characters and the few crumbs of extra scenes we got, but other than that it's just . . y'know the movie in book format which is a strange criticism because obviously it's a novelization but this was my first step into star wars literature and i made an oopsies! my bad!

If you likes the movie, you'll love the book. Providing more in depth with the characters, the book fleshes out the story and makes it even more enjoyable.
3.5 stars. I wasn't expecting to like this book as much as I did. After seeing the movie, I was left wanting more. I enjoyed the movie, especially the characters and wanted to spend more time with them. The movie novelization seemed the best way to do that. The book took me back into the world of the movie and let me absorb more of the plot and characters. So much was packed into the movie, and the action was so intense, that the pace of reading gave me the time I wanted to think more about the characters and appreciate the grey areas this story brings to morality in the Star Wars universe.

It's a little hard to review something like this in terms of just breaking down the plot because you don't know how much is the author's original story and how much is the screenplay that's then been turned to a novelization, but I've read some novelizations that haven't been so well done and this one was just amazing. So incredibly well-written. Rich in character details that go beyond just description and basics of what's going on but thoughts and little backgrounds and supplemental logs--all sorts of things that I can't imagine were in the movie. I thought he did such a touching job with each character and made tricky subject matter come off well. Just masterful.

I have to admit: I wasn't a huge fan of the Rogue One film -- so I was doubly impressed by Alexander Freed's take on it. His addition of the characters' internal thoughts really made me empathize more with them. It's still a bleak story, but there's more warmth here. I got quite misty eyed in places.
