Storyline was interesting, audiobook production was top notch as always. Just thought some of the writing/prose was pretty amateur. Lot's of head scratching word choices and sentence structures. Needed one more draft and it would've been a 4 or 4.5. It also was a bit slow at the start but once things get to the second half of the book it really picks up, and the

revelation to the rest of the galaxy that her and Luke are the children of Darth Vader was cool. Also that means people now know that Anakin became Vader and it seems like a bigger deal should've been made of that too. Maybe that's covered in a different book though.

Weirdly enough I wish there was more political maneuvering and we saw more of that side of things, and less of the espionage side missions with the other characters. Gimmie Leia being a master politician like we always hear about.

Also the very end was rushed, and the whole Resistance thing felt pretty shoehorned in.
