A good stand-alone Star Wars book for any casual movie fan! I haven’t read any of the Star Wars books yet, but I didn’t find myself lost at any point.

Really enjoyed this book, and I feel like it was an accurate representation of Ashoka’s character. I enjoyed a story line for her between Clone Wars and Rebels, and learning how she got involved in everything after. I felt like the end of the novel was a little rushed, so I would have preferred it to have a bit more writing there but otherwise it was so good! Ahsoka is one of my favourite Star Wars characters and this book did her justice.

Listened to audiobook with my SW-obsessed kiddo. Explicit violence but not graphic.

I can tell from reading this that the author has a passion for Star Wars. She has done Ahsoka justice with this story, as she has filled in gaps not rewritten what already exists. The story picks up after the Clone Wars but before Season 6 of the animated tv show of the same name. Her mannerisms match who she is in the show but with more maturity after seeing so much loss and war.

lays out the foundation for Fulcrum and her white lightsabers

. There is also a hint of queerness in this story which is refreshing. Not saying who that may involve of course as it is minute to the story.
