wishanem 's review for:

Leia: Princess of Alderaan by Claudia Gray
3.0

A surprisingly emotionally-engaging story based on the coming-of-age of the titular character. Her relationship with her parents and their individual characterization were the big stand-out elements of the book to me, but the rest of the supporting cast get some strong moments too. The political bits weren't great, specifically the depiction of the Empire was as more cartoonishly evil than even typical Star Wars Extended Universe stuff, but that's not what anybody is reading this book for anyway.
