I really want to love a Star Wars book. But this just didn’t connect for me. It was so dull. I really didn’t care for any of the characters. None of them felt worth cheering for or investing in. I appreciate that this book didn't fall into the trap that other Star Wars stories do - spending far too much time on the political developments across the galaxy - but it also lacked people to connect with. None of the characters felt important to me; they don't appear in great length in the movies, they haven't featured in any of the spin-off shows that Disney has churned out, and so building any kind of connection with them as characters just felt unnecessary.
There's some interesting set-up in this book for the rest of the series (I know the next book focuses on Han and Chewie) but it wasn't enough to pique my interest or to get me to invest in this trilogy.
Twice bitten now by the new Star Wars novels. Never again.
