Life Debt by Chuck Wendig
4.0

I enjoyed this more than the first installment, as the backstories and personalities of the cast of new characters introduced in Book 1 become more vivid, and they intersect more often with familiar characters from the freshly expanding Star Wars universe. There's a nice balance of street-level stories of regular denizens of the universe (a la Rogue One) and command-level stories of icons like the Skywalkers. The book moves forward in connecting the dots between Episodes VI and VII. Looking forward to reading the final piece.
