Rogue One: A Star Wars Story by Alexander Freed
4.0
adventurous dark emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

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.
