⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
just as devastating as the movie, in case anyone was wondering.
I read this for a combination of reasons: may the fourth, because I'd just watched the movie, and had just watched Andor (go watch it, it's so good). I liked the depth into Jyn and Bhodi's characters-- I think the book did a better job of explaining them than the movie did. I think I got more out of Jyn's "it's not a problem if you don't look up" to "rebellions are built on hope" shift from the book, and Bodhi's motivation from Galen showed more to his character than just the nervous pilot with fifteen minutes of screen time. Plus getting his perspective on Bor Gullet was interesting, since we don't really see anything other than "he's disoriented" in the movie. Babes, he was tortured.
Also love that Jyn literally has no idea who Krennic is. She really said "you ruined my life but you're a fascist idc" Big Syril Karn and Cassian Andor energy.
still don't like Saw Gerrera ✌
