Ahsoka
by E.K. Johnston
Background: This novel certainly seems like it is aiming to be YA, but I am a 30 year old that LOVES YA so it worked for me. I fell in love with Ahsoka this year through watching all of Clone Wars and Rebels for the first time (thanks Disney+), and I was very excited to read this book to fill in the time between the devastating and beautiful end of Clone Wars this year (thanks Dave Filoni) and Ahsoka's appearance in Rebels. Ahsoka honestly might be my favorite character in the Star Wars universe, because she shows us what the Jedi could be if they were at their best and not caught up as much in the politics of the universe. There is no person too small or lowly for Ahsoka to not reach out and care and try to help.
Now, this novel itself was an interesting look at how Ahsoka became the person she is in Rebels, through the heartbreak of Order 66 and her wrestling with her identity as a force-wielder outside of the Jedi Order. Some of the action was slower at the beginning, but for those nostalgic about the events of Clone Wars, like myself, I was willing to keep diving into that character development. The conclusion to the story was action-packed and I stayed up until 2am the night I read the last 100 pages because I couldn't stop.
Summary: if you love Ahsoka from Clone Wars and Rebels, this book is absolutely for you. If you haven't watched them, I don't think you will enjoy this because a lot of the background info seems to be expected to be understood already through watching Clone Wars.
