This is a much better representation of what I expect from the new Star Wars canon.
This novel focuses on a boy and a girl from the same planet but from different cultures and types of family. This is very much a Romeo and Juliet of Star Wars. The time span is from before A New Hope to after Return of the Jedi, with many instances of events coinciding with the original trilogy.
This is also told from the point of view from the Empire, which gives an interesting angle to seeing the training involved and the mindset of the Imperial forces. Every side has their version of events, and this is a well conceived well represented version of the original trilogy.
The ending drew out a bit too long for me, and there denouement leaves an opening for a follow on novel, but over all, i felt that this was an enjoyable story and worth the read.

I don’t know if I can convey how much it hurts there is no sequel.

Loved the story, but didn’t love the characters. This novel shows different perspectives of the explosion of the first Death Star, which is interesting in its own right. Most of the characters lack depth, and fail to get past a certain aspect of their personality (ie, the snobby characters are just snobby, nothing else). I just wanted more out of the characters, especially the female lead, Ciena Ree. The mental gymnastics Ciena would engage in to justify her position was maddening. The story was engaging, and worth reading, but you may constantly be wanting for more character development.

Such a great story! I would've given it a 5, but I'm not a huge fan of the romance parts. I was really excited to read through the time line of the Rebellion. Those certain characters that make cameos made this book even more thrilling! A must read through and through.
