Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel by James Luceno
3.0
This was my first Star Wars novel, which is crazy since i’m a huge fan. I picked it because i love the movie Rogue One, and wanted the full story, plus this novel is canon and i strive to learn the SW canon in full.
That being said, this draaaaags. the story mostly deals with the politics and military strategy of the Empire, which seems like it would be right in my wheel
house, but honestly the middle third was so slow. the last third at least kept my interest to finish it.
One thing i will say, is that the novel really fleshes out Krenick’s character and adds a new layer when rewatching Rogue One.
