spoilsofwar 's review for:

Leia, Princess of Alderaan by Claudia Gray
5.0

I took a while to finish this because I was reading comics and seeing movies and just generally floating around. It's not that this book wasn't engrossing. I finished the bulk of it in less than a work week with just my lunch hour, and then the rest during two lunch hours.

Anyway, it's a great book. I'm not going to spoil anything, but you get to know Amilyn Holdo, how Leia and her parents interacted, how she came to learn of and become involved in the Rebellion.
SpoilerYou also find out that there's one particular Nice Man that Leia was likely talking about when she was trying to convince herself in Empire Strikes Back.


Breha and Bail Organa are richly developed, despite that everything is told from Leia's perspective. It's very clear that they love and cherish their adopted daughter a great deal, and
SpoilerI appreciated that Breha had disabilities that she did not keep hidden.
