4.0

So that was all for nothing… don’t get me wrong, I liked the book, but getting to the end it doesn’t feel like Inferno Squad accomplished anything worthwhile. ||Yes, the Dreamers are dead, but so is Seyn. And Lux is still alive. So he could just go to the Rebellion and give them the same info.|| In the grand scheme of things, they didn’t really stop any big threat to the Empire.

The characters were fine. It’s weird to be sympathizing with Imperials, but they did show growth (except Gideon, fuck that guy) and understanding of the Dreamers.

It’s been too long since I’ve watched a play through of Battlefront II to remember if it connects to the game at all, but the book was all right. Although if I never have to read Christie Golden’s obsession with making every humanoid character hot, it will still be too soon 🙄
