A New Dawn
by John Jackson Miller
I will defend this book until the end of time. I will defend the show to the end of time.
This is the Star Wars book I've been waiting for. Great dialogue, great character growth, great story... (the villain was awesome, oh my goodness) what else can I say that certainly won't spoil it? Practically nothing.
This I will say, however: the only quibble I have with the story is that the Kanan here is not exactly like the Kanan we see in Rebels. I don't know why, but the Kanan in rebels seems more mature, more grounded. This Kanan is that, but he's really outward on his feelings for Hera (which is something we don't see in the show). This Kanan likes to flirt, likes to be cheeky. The Kanan in the show does none of that. After reading it in the book, I wanted him to be like that in the show. :/
I really, really hope that JJM comes back and writes a story on how Hera and Kanan found Zeb, Sabine and Chopper. I also want to know how the Inquisitor came into play. There is still so much more story to tell and I really, REALLY want JJM to write it. So far, after reading this and Kenobi, I really like how he writes in the Star Wars world. Everyone else tries so hard to make it seem like a Star Wars book when they write that it sounds forced, cliched, and boggled with technical jargon. JJM doesn't do any of that, there is actual character development, paragraphs with no dialogue, and no forced dialogue.
So, hell with it, I'll defend the writer too. Bless this book.
