Aftermath by Chuck Wendig
3.0

I gave this book a shot because if we all know modern media, some of the New Expanded Universe characters will start showing up in the movie and animation series. Unlike The New Republic or Shadows of the Empire, this book didn’t really draw me in because the characters' back stories aren't fully developed or relatable. I'm starting to read the graphic novels too and it seems the descriptions of the alien life forms are taken for granted. You almost need a Star Wars dictionary and illustrated species companion to get a clearer picture of what is going on.

If I read correctly, the new senate house is in some planed called Chandrila, or city in a planet, and it is the site that is used for The Force Awakens. I wish Wedge did more than get trapped and rescued Leia style, and actually had better lines. The Ackbar appearances are cool and somewhat memorable but not as engaging as the story and characters of Shattered Empire.

Will wait until Aftermath #2 to figure out if it is worth the read. Stay tuned.
