2nd read was much better

The first time I read this I wasn't a fan at all but reading this again for the 2nd book I really enjoyed it. It's probably best to go into this with minimal expectations as these characters are very different from what we might be used to with Star Wars

Certainly one of the better of the "new-canon" Star Wars novels. Much of it is pretty reminiscent of the old X-Wing books by Michael Stackpole. I'm looking forward to the next two books in this planned trilogy!

The characters were very flat and story fairly dull. Good idea, but i suppose the author was restricted in what he could tell. Another 2 books - i will read them as i want to read all the new canon (adult) books that are being released.

Liked this more than I expected, eager to continue the series. Darker with less levity than most of the “Legends” titles I’ve read

First time was a bit rough following the first half of the book, but I enjoyed it all the way through on the second read. The last 1/4 of the book or so is 5 Stars. Excited for book 2!

Very very good - Great intros to the characters, harrowing missions, and very human core driving everything. There are some slower bits in the middle, and couple of the things at the end are kinda... eh. Both obvious but also uninteresting? Either way, it doesn't affect the book terribly - probably happy with a 4.5 rating. Really enjoyed this.
