quadrille 's review for:
Star Wars: Age of Resistance - Heroes
by Tom Taylor
This is going to function as a dual review for both the Heroes and [b:Star Wars: Age of Resistance - Villains|44777456|Star Wars Age of Resistance - Villains|Tom Taylor|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1554304297l/44777456._SY75_.jpg|69417547] books, because I mainlined all the issues in one fell swoop and not entirely in order. Each character-centric issue is absolutely tiny: it’s more like a bite-sized vignette, a brief glimpse of a moment that characterises them.
The villains set was more interesting to me because of the insight it gave us to Snoke and Kylo Ren, mostly because I am very interested in those mysterious arcs and where in the world they’re going in the movies, and so it’s interesting to see that during his training, Kylo was unable to kill the Force manifestations of his parents. Also, Hux and Kylo’s dynamic continues to crack me up for how much they bicker and squabble!!
In contrast, the heroes’ issues were mostly just… more of the same: Finn’s early compassion, Rey’s scrappiness and hope, Poe’s first glimpses of the Resistance. None of it is particularly surprising or unexpected, but it is nice just getting to see more of these characters.
