FINALLY after one month of wrestling with this book, I am done. This was an unnecessary hard read and, though I love these characters and the new insight into Krennic we got, I was incredibly bored. Also, some of the imagery used (especially around Lyra) was so painfully obvious to have been written by a man 😭 The idea and the plot are not bad but the execution is and that's tragic, really.
