This was a great tie-in novel to give depth to the main characters of Rogue One. I feel like it got extremely technical in describing some of the science at play, but that’s where SCI-FI comes into play I guess. It was very interesting to see Krennic’s rise & his beef with Tarkin. I very much enjoyed learning about the dynamics of the Erso family.
