jan_damask 's review for:
Leia: Prinzessin von Alderaan
by Timothy Stahl, Claudia Gray
4.5/5 stars (Goodreads please give us half stars!!!) -
Really good book where you don't get bored for a second while reading. Leia's first steps in the resistance against the Empire. Claudia Gray managed to capture Leia's character perfectly and the story is something fresh and unique and not a retelling of the events that made Leia the person we see in Episode IV in the old Expanded Universe. It's a shame that there's no Winter - but the book manages to do what Tim Zahn did in "Thrawn" - make me like a character I can't stand from a motion picture. In Thrawn that was Prcye and here Amilyn Holdo known from the infamous movie: The Last Jedi! And also what connections to other canon and EU works also was great. The canon can tell very good stories in the books. I wish I could say the same for the shows and movies, because not only do they have bad writing, but they also ignore books like this one, which I find a shame as a reader. Still, I enjoy the novels and have to say that Claudia Gray is a very good - new - writer for Star Wars alongside Cavan Scott and Charles Soule.
