This book should be required reading. It definitely adds much to enjoyment of the sequel trilogy, especially TRoS. So many questions were answered, and yet there is room for more lore and backstory.
Let me interject briefly to say that if you’re stuck on hating TRoS, that is likely to color your enjoyment. I also had my qualms, but the more I read in-universe, the more I cool off about it. Rey is still one of my favorite Star Wars characters, but I’m not so stuck in my head about it that I let it turn into blind hate for the franchise and all they continue to do.
If you want more of Luke Skywalker in his prime, fun Lando Calrissian content, context behind Rey being on Jakku, teenage Ben Solo (yes, you read that right! it’s not a lot, but it is glorious), and Sith lore, this is for you!
A bit darker because of said Sith lore, think along the lines of Last Shot by Daniel Jose Older.
Great narration by William DeMeritt, too.
