Aftermath by Chuck Wendig

3.0

All in all the story line was good. The author filled some of the gaps after the destruction of the Deathstar during the battle on Endor. Some familiar faces are a part of the story, and he introduces some new and (very) likable characters. I enjoyed all of those traits. That being said there are a few things that slightly (and sometimes not-so-slightly) bothered me. The present-tense method of writing is not my favorite. At various points in the book the writing style actually got in the way of the story. I found myself going back and re-reading portions. This is not to say Chuck Wendig is a poor writer, it's just that I did not so much like the style. I don't think this is a bad book, I am sure it is tough to write anything in the Star Wars universe. I finished it, was not disappointed, nor was I extremely impressed. I do think I will read any additional books that Wendig authors, if nothing else to see if his writing style/story telling is the same or if he moves in a different direction. This book falls in the middle of the road for me.
