Resistance Reborn by Rebecca Roanhorse
3.0
Other reviews are saying if you’re a casual fan or not you’ll enjoy this book... well I’m not just a casual fan, but I also am just getting into the books and have dabbled a little bit into the video games.
If you are not familiar with the characters from the other books in canon or have never played battlefront then it’s going to be very hard to follow along. When or alien races get hardly any description as to what they look like and characters that are known elsewhere get no description whatsoever it’s very hard for me to picture in my head who’s who and keep keep all of these new starwarsy names straight. I was constantly getting lost and couldn’t clearly picture what was going on. Maybe that’s just my lack of imagination or the fact that We have so much visual content given to us through the movies and now tv shows and video games.
I honestly couldn’t even put my finger on what this books goal was to accomplish. I Know very well where the last Jedi left off, and I couldn’t figure out what was the plot was trying to be. Even halfway through the book I was skimming to find pages with Poe, Rey, Finn or Leia cause those were the only parts that had some sense.
I’m sure if I knew the other characters maybe it would be better, and maybe once I do I can give this one another try, but having seen episode 9 twice now, I don’t see where this book comes into play at all.
