Lost Stars
by Claudia Gray
A great premise is realized here by Claudia Gray, again using her gift of populating the Star Wars universe with realistic characters and fleshed out world building. This story playing out over the events of the original trilogy allows us a broader look at the Empire and its war with the Rebellion. Though this does mean one of our main characters must stay loyal to the Empire throughout, and the reasoning she has to do so sometimes feels too forced. The amount of time this story covers also means that there isn't a lot of room to build up secondary characters, though this isn't a major problem since the core relationship of the book is developed so well.
Finally, the ending is quite sudden, foreshadowing a sequel that I hope Gray is able to write in the future. Her command of story is great, and it's exciting to see such a strong voice take hold in this universe.
