For those of you turned off by the first installment I found this one much better. The galactic exposition we all wanted comes sooner. The development of the characters are better. And I am now pining for the final one. There are characters I am invested in, and new mysteries I want solved. I think GA Sloane is a new favorite character of mine... for a dirty Imp. She's got a lot of Pallaeon in her and I love it.
Much better than the first one. I really do love this rag tag group of characters. Much less of the whiney son though which is great. Looking forward to the conclusion.
La expectativa era muy grande debido al Halcón Milenario en la portada. Muchos pensabamos que Han Solo y Chewbacca, y su esfuerzo por liberar Kashyyyk serían centrales en la historia ... y lo son ... más o menos. En realidad la historia sigue centrada en la piloto rebelde Norra Wexley y su grupo, y en la Almirante Rae Sloane y sus esfuerzos por controlar los restos del Imperio. El rescate del planeta Wookie y Han Solo pasan a ser parte de esta trama.
Pero pasado el desencanto se puede disfrutar. Los personajes creados por Wendig son bastante entretenidos, la historia está bien llevada y de verdad profundiza en los temas y personajes trazados en la primera novela; y la presencia de Han Solo le da un valor extra, aunque no sea suficiente para los fans. Pero no por nada la dedicatoria del autor reza: "Para todos aquellos cuyo corazón salta cada vez que Han Solo aparece en la pantalla o en una página".
Si bien no agrega mucho, resulta entretenida. Espero con gusto la culminación de la historia.

In the second installment of the Aftermath trilogy, we continue to get to know the cast of original characters as they interact with some of the major players from the movies. Once again, the writing style is certainly something I had to get used to. Overall, I consider this the strongest book of the three, due in large part to the heavy doses of Han Solo.
I did it!
This really dragged on in the first half and only started to pick up speed towards the end, hence the lower rating.
I really loved seeing more of Han & Leia’s relationship. The fight scenes were super cool and the plot in the latter half was good. Unfortunate that I just found the first half a bit bland in comparison.
3.5/5

A horrible book by an awful author, although its nor nearly as bad as Aftermath, which isn't saying much(I'd like to wipe that book from my mind). I hope Wendig is done with Star Wars after the the third book.
This is definitely an improvement from the last book. It's a very insightful look into the New Republic and also how it maybe repeats some of the mistakes of the old. Han Solo, Leia, and Chewie are a delightful bonus to the crew I have grown to like. Rae Sloane is a fantastic character for an imperial. This look into galactic politics in both the Empire and the New Republic along with the places in between is very insightful. I enjoyed it enough to read it in one day that's for sure.
Read my whole review on my blog (the review is for all three books! So it'll contain a few light spoilers): https://eternalporcelaindoll.blogspot.com/2019/05/review-politics-of-galaxy-far-far-away.html
Just like Aftermath, Aftermath: Life Debt was an action-packed good read from start to finish. The plot is well thought out and the story told from a variety of perspectives. I know others have complained about The interludes, but I rather enjoyed them as they help to provide context to what others in the galaxy are going through during the overarching battle between the Empire and New Republic. Can’t wait to read Aftermath: Empire’s End.
