I already enjoyed the Rogue One movie so I was fairly sure I was going to enjoy the novelization.
My biggest issue going into this book was Alexander Freed. I wasn’t a huge fan of his previous Star Wars book Battlefront: Twilight Company but I am happy to say his novelization for Rogue One was incredibly well done.
This does everything I expect a novelization to do in that it tells the main plot of the film but also adds little elements and insights to enrich an already fantastic story.
A stand out here is the additional depth given to Bodhi Rook. I enjoyed the character well enough in the film but this book added more insights into his actions and motivations and made me appreciate his contributions more than I already did.
