The Last Jedi by Jason Fry
4.0
I should first add that I loved The Last Jedi. The Rey/Luke/Kylo/Snoke storylines are some of my favourites in Star Wars and I repeatedly watched a bootleg copy of the throne room scene waiting for the blu-ray to come out. I think this is the first time I've read a novelisation of a movie, so it required a little adjustment for me. It was strange seeing dialogue that was different in the movie, or scenes that played out in different orders. However it was amazing getting to see characters' motivations and their thoughts. It was also such a fast paced story, it felt so much shorter than the movie even though there were extra scenes included. I'm not a Reylo fan, but their interactions in the movie and book leave me so intrigued.
Sadly, a few things that worked really well in cinematic form didn't translate quite so well. None of the clues from the climactic Luke/Kylo fight made it into the novel (which I can definitely understand, it would have made it so obvious), and the jump cuts were getting on my nerves in the final act. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone who liked The Last Jedi. It's a great novelisation and I can't wait for Episode IX!
