To put it simply... I absolutely loved this book.
Yes, it explores one of the characters from the original trilogy. But, it also is brilliantly written. And, it heavily incorporates one of my favorite poems throughout.
If you have read the other books in the series, you'll already know that this author is a world-builder. She can put you into the setting and make you almost see your surroundings. Her character development is master level, and the characters seem familiar and real. She is also great at foreshadowing without spelling it out, and building suspense.
If you have not read the other books in the series... while this is a stand-alone story and could be enjoyed that way, I'd suggest reading the rest in the order of their release, and not in the chronological story order.
