I really liked [a:E.K. Johnston|7418796|E.K. Johnston|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1442955730p2/7418796.jpg]'s [b:Ahsoka|29749107|Ahsoka (Star Wars)|E.K. Johnston|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1468595529l/29749107._SX50_.jpg|50105366] young adult novel. I think Johnston did well in capturing the spirit, voice and personality of Ahsoka and presented her in environments and circumstances Star Wars fans are familiar with. Trouble always finds Ahsoka, and this book casts her in the usual bevy of difficulties she attracts. One could say, "it's the same old story and pattern," with this book that we've seen a hundred times in The Clone Wars. One would be right, and that is okay. Consider the [b:Ahsoka|29749107|Ahsoka (Star Wars)|E.K. Johnston|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1468595529l/29749107._SX50_.jpg|50105366] novel as an extension of a Clone Wars story arch, without the clones and their war ended. Readers are treated to the smart, compassionate and selfless Ahsoka we are use to seeing and there is comfort in that.
Ahsoka assumes her own role as the main character of the book and Johnston does a good job introducing new people, exploring new places, and allowing Ahsoka to cleverly solve new problems. And of course, there are tidbits from the past that Ahsoka and The Clone Wars fans can enjoy.
This book is a must-read for fans of Ahsoka. They will not be disappointed. The young adult tone of the book serves well in telling another Ahsoka adventure that is a pleasure to read. General, non-hardcore Star Wars readers can skip [b:Ahsoka|29749107|Ahsoka (Star Wars)|E.K.

However, some Easter eggs are sure to please those readers, though the light tone may be tough for them to abide. [b:Ahsoka|29749107|Ahsoka (Star Wars)|E.K.

This book is not for them and they should skip it.

It glows with the spirit of Star Wars and Ahsoka herself shines brightly. It also does well at inviting new readers into the saga with its simple text and well-conceived interludes.
