Wraith Squadron by Aaron Allston

4.0

Not only does this book have a different author than the first four in the X-Wings series, but it also focuses on an almost entirely new cast of characters. At first, I wasn't sure how I felt about that, but after reading the book, I think it was a great change. While I greatly enjoyed the characters in the first four books and did miss them a bit, I loved the characters in this book. They were fantastic. They have much more interesting pasts, then the majority of the characters in the first four books. I think they are more complex characters, and that helped make me feel more invested in them. During the first four books, I liked all of the characters but really only became attached to a couple. In this book, I became invested in the story of almost all of the characters, and I cared what happened to them. There's still a small bit of me that somewhat misses Rogue Squadron, but I'm perfectly okay with reading about Wraith Squadron.

The story was also interesting, with Wraith Squadron pretending to be the crew of an Imperial warship. I wasn't sure how they would successfully do that, but I really enjoyed reading about it. I thought it was a really interesting story.
