Isard's Revenge by Michael A. Stackpole
4.0
Isard’s Revenge is yet another action packed, thrilling addition to the X-Wing series! I loved picking up these characters again, especially since it’s been a good while since I read the last Rogue Squadron books.
I would say the highlight for this book, which is usually the case with these books, was the character of Corran Horn, it was awesome seeing him in action again and how his relationship with Mirax has evolved since the last book. This makes me super excited to read I, Jedi in the near future.
The one gripe I had with this book is that the plot just felt a little bit repetitive after so many books of a similar format. Imperial bad guy doing Imperial bad guy things and the rogues go on a fun mission to stop the Imperial bad guy. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed every page, but it’s left me excited for when I reach the end of the ‘Imperial remnants VS New Republic’ era of the EU.
I also have mixed feelings on the return of Isard and what that brought to the table, but I wouldn’t say it negatively impacted the story.
