Poe Dameron: Free Fall by Alex Segura
2.0
adventurous emotional hopeful inspiring tense medium-paced
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

I wanted to love this.
I love Star Wars and Poe, Free Fall didn’t do either justice.

I think it’s hard to tell a story with suspense and real consequence when we already know the two main characters live beyond it. It’s especially difficult when the story primarily relies on action more than characters and therefore we already know that every fight, flight, and risk taken will work out for them in the end. I couldn’t really connect with any of the additional characters either which didn’t help. 

Overall it was a slog to get through for me. 

I listened to the audiobook of this which was actually great with music and sound effects that really helped the atmosphere. Typically I don’t like any added sounds but this was so well done. I just wish the story could have lived up to the production value.
