The ending felt weirdly paced but other than that it was a much nicer read than I was expecting

Rogue One is not only my favorite Star Wars movie, but is probably my favorite movie period. To me it is all levels of perfect and I was very excited about finally getting my hands in this novelization, and it delivered.
In terms of writing I'd say I liked Catalyst more, I liked that author better. But this one was still pretty good. Loved the missing scenes and the depth we have for the characters and relationships. Something that is there at the movie's surface and in here we can dig deeper.

Spring 2020 (March);
I had been told to expect to be bowled over with a tear-jerker when I read this, but I can out of it with no tears and surprisingly little new emotion that what had been garnered by the movie itself. I was so engrossed by [b:Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel|29662066|Catalyst A Rogue One Novel (Star Wars)|James Luceno|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1509729394l/29662066._SY75_.jpg|50028005] & [b:Rebel Rising|32617148|Rebel Rising (Star Wars)|Beth Revis|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1485379708l/32617148._SY75_.jpg|53203858], with its Galen, Lyra, and Jyn backgrounds richly dug into, that I think I went into this book expecting far more than it could ever give me being a synopsis novel.

Read it after seeing the movie just to re-hash the plot especially since the beginning of the movie can feel a little confusing before you get a handle on all the players.
Provides a smidge of inner monologue to help flesh out some characters but there's nothing earth shattering here but that's OK.

This story has such a special place in my heart and Freed's novelisation was everything I'd hoped for, just thinking about it makes me so happy.

Ačkoliv SW miluju a Rogue One mám jako film fakt ráda, tak tohle mi nesedlo. Jestli styl psaní, nebo fakt nevím.. Ale jedna věc byla jako ve filmu. Jyn byla stejně otravná a nesympatická :D
