I’m still recovering from The Bad Batch finishing earlier this summer and I just wanted more clone action. This book was an excellent way to start that off! I loved seeing the clone trauma and how they navigate the world as beings who have only been bred for one purpose. I thought each clone character was loveable with a great backstory. I can’t wait to see more of these guys in future books!

I LOVED this book! The adventure was fast-paced and exhilarating while also making your heart pound with intensity. The characters are lovable and I loved seeing how their flaws played into their actions through the story. With that being said, sometimes the fast-paced was a little too fast, making it hard to truly feel the impact of some of the scenes. But I would definitely read this book again!

I thought this book was so cute! I’d been in a book slump lately and felt this book pulled me out of it. It was sweet, funny, angsty and a perfect read for anyone looking for a good romance. Loved it!

I would’ve ended this book differently but I thought this book was beautifully written! I’ve been waiting for a good Star Wars romance outside of main characters we already know and Claudia Gray executed this perfectly. I loved how she crafted this love story around the Star Wars storyline. I will absolutely be reading it again!

Did not finish book. Stopped at 19%.

I think the romance between Elisa and Hector is too fresh in my mind and I want to dwell on how much I love their story before reading a book where they’re the background characters. I LOVED getting a little taste of their marriage as an outside viewer.
