Much more philosophical than I expected, I found myself wanting to prepare mentally to read this book. It takes all the wonderful things about Star Wars and shuffles it in with feudal Japan, creating a vibrant, new world full of samurai, disgraced lords, and witches. This is what Star Wars is meant to be.

Oh, this was fun. I really liked the Visions series on Disney+, and I think that this book is fun in the same way that that series is: by completely ignoring Star Wars canon and doing its own thing. Like Candon says in her author's note "it's an iteration of an American saga that is itself an iteration on a Japanese ones." It's kind of a slower read, but it's incredibly fun and just different than standard Star Wars books.
