The Rise of Skywalker: Expanded Edition by Rae Carson

4.0

I have to say this is another case of the Novel saving the movie. The expanded edition of TROS was exactly what I needed. It added context to the right parts and that added context truly makes the difference for this story and makes it so much better. This doesn't feel nearly as disjointed as the film does, whether it's brief explanations from the POV of a different character or seeing just a little more of a scene that we didn't see in the film. Oh and it makes it even more obvious that Finn is force sensitive.

The character work for Ben and Rey was top notch and special consideration should be given to that of Leia and Lando.

Overall a very strong 4 stars that I am happy to award.
