Decent story of Hera and Kanan meetings up. So worth it if you really liked Rebels I'd say.

The first book in the new Star Wars canon that Disney has commissioned. It happens while the Empire is still pretty new, and follows (among other things) one character involved in putting together what presumably will become the Rebellion when it gets bigger and better organized.
It was interesting: I haven't read a lot of Star Wars novels, but I recognize that one of the advantages is that you don't have to spend a lot of time on the universe-building; that part is already done. You can just concentrate on the story and on creating an interesting world within that universe. The world that's crafted is pretty interesting, but not very well-explored: I kept thinking how life would be unique on a mining world perpetually in nighttime, but that's never explored. The story was creative, though, and I thought the characters were pretty well-done.
I did feel like he leaned TOO heavily on the Star Wars universe as already created: there were references to things like Mynocks and Wookies in odd places, like he couldn't think of any new creatures to use so he had to revert to using familiar ones in odd contexts (why would a wookie even be on a sweltering underground mining colony? Doesn't sound like their cup of tea, to me). I would've preferred some creativity in that respect.

I love this book, but I do have one major issue. It is very petty, but it bothered me so much I’m going to take a whole star off for it anyway. The book contains the line “All women were magical creatures to Kanan.” Rarely have I continued reading a book after reading a line that f***ing uncomfortable and cringy. Ew. I think it was supposed to come off as charming, but I don’t think the author understands how repulsive that line sounds to a woman. It’s laughably awkward. I almost stopped reading the book all together.
