A review by noranne
Aftermath by Chuck Wendig

3.0

This was my first Star Wars book. I was curious to see how well this would translate to the page, as I think much of the allure of Star Wars is in the visuals. I still think that after reading this book. It was fine, but there were several action/chase scenes that would have probably been much more exciting in a movie than reading about on the page. But overall, I enjoyed the book. An interesting idea to examine the immediate aftermath of the fall of Death Star 2.0 and Vader/Palpatine—what has to happen to make the HEA happen. Rae was a good antagonist and while none of the protagonist ensemble got overly developed (except for Temmin being an annoying idiot, but then again, he’s 15) none of them were particularly poorly done. I’d definitely consider picking up the next one.
