Tarkin by James Luceno
4.0

Reread. Closer to 3.5 stars. It’s not Luceno’s best Star Wars novel, but I can’t decide what exactly is missing from this. With Rogue One and Luceno’s prequel novel Catalyst this story is all the more interesting, but I think the lack of time spent with Tarkin overseeing the Death Star hurts it a bit. As a character study his background is developed excellently, and I enjoy how there are ample ties to his other non canon novels such as Cloak of Deception and the masterpiece that is Darth Plagueis, but still I was ready for it to end.
