Too many different POVs without being specific who the POV was coming from in the first few paragraphs in each chapter. Lost my interest.

Should be read before watching Star Wars Rebels on Disney+
I skimmed most of this book and read the Wookiepedia summary. I dunno what it is but a lot of the newer Star Wars books just aren't as interesting as the Legends books are/were. And I can understand this to an extent, but the lack of Jedi powers is really boring to me. Like obiously Kanan can't just go around using his powers willy-nilly, but it just makes the book boring for me if there are no Jedi/Sith/Force-user characters who're able to use their powers. I didn't expect this to be my favorite new canon book, but it was a little underwhelming (to the point where I just started skimming around 20% into the book.
The first third was slow, taking 5 days for me to push through, however the middle and ending more than makes up for it. If you're looking at this book, one can safely assume you to be a fan of the Rebels series. Seeing the origins of the Hera/Kanan relationship is one of the brightest spots. While it functions well as a one off, I could also see it becoming a trilogy as they add more members of the Ghost, adding Sabine and Zeb. If you're hoping to see a ton of Force-using in this book, it won't scratch that itch for you. Despite the cover art, there is no lightsaber action to be seen. It does a very good job of showing Kanan's mental state following the first few years after Order 66.

Great to see Kanan and Hera at the start of their relationship and see a part of the galaxy only just being touched by the Empire and how the corruption starts and gets fed in.

John Jackson Miller you did it again. Kanan and Hera have always been my favorite pair of space parents and reading this was tearing my little heart apart. I just love Star Wars.
This is the story of how Kannan and Hera meet. Kannan only uses the force twice; both times to push a noun aka a person or a thing. (Not a place). I though he would end up using his lightsaber, especially when it made an appearance but he didn't.
I'm working my way through Star Wars: Rebels and his character growth int a wise calm Jedi is a long ways away from the Kannan in this book who's a impulsive, Force-intuitive roustabout. This book also shows one of the first acts of rebellion against the empire; the attack on Vidian's ship. Speaking of whom...
Vidian continues the, perhaps overused, trope in Star Wars of the baddie being significantly droided up. See also: General Grievous and Darth Vader. Vidian is closer to the general than the darth. All four limbs, his eyes, his vocal cords are all robotic. But where Grievous only has organic eyes and brain, Vidian's eyes act as a heads up display, feeding them the holograms from the comm channel and data streams from the computer directly into the robotic eyes. His robotic vocal cords also allow him to "talk" through the comm system without speaking aloud. And, naturally, with so much of his humanity replaced, he's a cold-blooded killer.
I thought it was a solid addition to Star Wars Cannon and one you should definitely read if you're watching Star Wars: Rebels.

The twist of the "independent" scientist backing up his findings, being him just using his original name was telegraphed. Though, Sloan's turning on him because he tried to bribe her with an admiralty and this making her suspicious was a good one.I thought it was a solid addition to Star Wars Cannon and one you should definitely read if you're watching Star Wars: Rebels.
