“The war keeps going.”

- Wyl Lark

The final book in the Alphabet Squadron trilogy follows up on the groundwork laid by its predecessors in a big way. The book, like the others in the trilogy, is personal, heavy, and fulfilling all at once. Their growth. Their loss. Their trauma and victories. Alexander Freed continues to give these characters we’ve followed and grown with, real depth and complexity.

If you’ve enjoyed the series thus far, the final entry is well worth the journey.

If you’ve followed the pilots of Alphabet Squadron this far, I’d say this book is a must-read. I’d also add Hera fans to that list. This book, like the rest of the trilogy, gets into the choices, consequences, and weight on the people who fight it. Just like the title, Victory’s Price is definitely a theme deeply explored here.

I really enjoyed the entire trilogy, getting to know new dimensional characters, and reconnecting with a few old favorites. It’s really hard to dive into what makes this story unique without spoiling the entire trilogy. Suffice to say, this is a story built on its characters and their trials. If you want to experience the end of the war through the eyes of those who fight it, this is the trilogy for you.

An excellent conclusion to a fantastic trilogy of novels. Victory’s Price, like the other two novels explores the meaning of loyalty, duty, and forgiveness in the gritty, real world military style Alexander Freed does so well, while also navigating the Star Wars universe so expertly. ALL the characters continued to compel me which is quite a feat given how many people are involved. I still think Yrica Quell is my favorite though. I wondered how her story could end up on any kind of positive note and I have to say I was impressed just how well it was done. The year from Endor to Jakku has been the setting for some of the best and worst Star Wars novels, and I’m glad to say these three may by the best of all.

haha yay, read this on may the fourth...
there are quite a few characters (which is true of most star wars books...), lots of pilots both rebel and imperial and for some reason felt like too many this time. in that scenario there is more opportunity to also not like reading every character, so was less interested in some. Liked Hera being in this one more and the timeline connecting up to other events was actually helpful.
