A fun story sharing how Ahsoka became Fulcrum.
I think Ahsoka’s characterization was good because the whole book was a character essay about Ahsoka but Johnston attempted to do something where Ahsoka “let’s go” of Ashla to be Ahsoka again and while it was a good concept there wasn’t enough distinction between Ashla and Ahsoka for that to matter.
There was a lot of references to Clone Wars and Star Wars in general which provided some very fun aspects to Ahsoka’s characterization but the overall plot itself wasn’t anything crazy.
However I did love the symbolism of Ahsoka’s new lightsabers and how they reflect her. How they were formed using scrap parts found on the planets she visited and how they’re described as “junk and unfinished” even after she forms the sabers. It was great.
A good and quick read for fellow Ahsoka lovers.
