Rogue One: A Star Wars Story by Alexander Freed

3.0

If this were a standalone Star Wars novel, I think I would have enjoyed it more. As a novelization, I don't think it's very good - it does help to flesh out characters and scenes more, but in a lot of cases that is actually not a good thing. Cassian comes off as much more of a jerk than he is in the movie, and Jyn comes off as a very weak character, which she most certainly isn't in the film. A missed opportunity by a talented writer, in my opinion.
