Still a great book but I’m going to have to give up on the Star Wars audiobooks. The music and sound effects are weird, random character accents are too much.

The X-Wing series, perhaps my favorite "guilty pleasure", the same way that, what, "Batman" oder "Spiderman" comics are to other adults. Now, this first book, I didn't like as much as the later parts of the series; mainly, because the novel still feels like the author is experimenting with different directions. Overall, though, a solid introduction to the universe outside of the flagship novels; it's good to have new characters whose stories you can't quite predict.

Wasn't a big fan of this one. I kept spacing out as I read it. It started out promising with the introduction of the team and plot. After everything gets established it got a little generic. I couldn't picture the space battles in my head. The descriptions were basically he turned, flipped, made a maneuver, and then lined up his sights and fired. I thought it was tedious. I wonder if it's just the book or space battles described like this aren't best in print media and are best suited for film? I also had problems with the final mission being a rehash.
I liked some of the characters. Horn seemed like he may be developed into a good character. I like wedge.
Uninspired. I might give the second one a chance because now that the setting and characters are established more interesting events can start to happen.

I read this series as a teenager and it was fun to revisit it all these years later. It sucks that Disney made all these stories non-canon, as there's some really fun ones.
