So so interesting but idk why i find the book (like the first one) difficult to read. Maybe the chapters are too long, maybe it’s the battles descriptions, idk

I really enjoyed this. Particularly loved the dynamic that developed between the squadron and how that changed markedly.

Eine wirklich gelungene Fortsetzung, die nicht in das "Zweiter Teil einer Trilogie"-Loch fällt. Die Figuren werden stark weiterentwickelt, Vergangenheiten aufgedeckt und Beziehungen verändern sich. Die Kämpfe selbst interessierten mich hier tatsächlich weniger, ich war voll auf die Figuren fokussiert. Von denen lebt diese Trilogie nämlich.

I'm giving it 5 stars, and sure maybe I'm just a Starfighter pilot fanboy that inhales stories surrounding them. It's true. HOWEVER, Freed does more than just deliver a typical Starfighter pew pew battle. This is deep if you ask me. It explores themes of Post Traumatic Stress with essentially the entire cast of characters. Having them painfully examine their past experiences, how its shaped them at that moment , what they will do and how they have grown beyond (in most cases) that past. I don't expect everyone to grasp the level of depth but it's there to those who can see it.
As with Twilight Company Freed delivers a story that humanized the soldiers we often see in the background of large scale battles. Giving faces, names, histories, to the people we take for granted getting blown up in the snow of Hoth or the streets of Troithe. The same can be said for the Empires characters. This is how his writing resonates with me. It's Star Wars but it's so much more than that.
