This was not a page turner but an absolutely essential bridge between TLJ and TROS! I think my super high expectations and knowing some spoilers already might have diminished my enjoyment of it.
I thought it was great how it pulled together characters we met in previous books and media, but I found myself wishing the book was longer so that each character had some more time to shine! If one has no glup shitto knowledge, many of the moments here probably don't hit at all. It was also a little predictable at times.
With that said, I thought Poe Dameron and new characters like Teza Nasz and the obnoxious Winshur Bratt were the highlights, very well developed and memorable. The Bloodline tie-in was the one thing I was most excited for and it was short, bittersweet & quite emotional, loved it, just wish I hadn't spoiled it for myself.
I also really appreciate the FinnPoe moments in this! :')
That one scene will live rent free in my mind every time I think of them.
This might be the one book I wish wasn't narrated by Marc Thompson because, but that's most definitely a nitpick, the audiobook was still great.
