A New Hope: The Princess, the Scoundrel, and the Farm Boy by Alexandra Bracken
5.0
After reading Star Wars books off and on for several years, and starting with none other than the original official version of A New Hope, my copy so old it just said STAR WARS on the cover, when they said they were going to redo it, I was excited and a little worried.
However there's nothing to fear. This book isn't like the original, where it's for people who haven't seen the movies or knows much of anything about this world. This edition is for the old fans who are supposed to know what was going on with the other characters, including Vader, while Bracken focused on first Leia, then Han, and lastly Luke our MC. And it adds just a little more layers to an old story, making it shiny and new and beautiful to read.
A fast read, I powered through this very quickly. Star Wars fans of all ages can pick this book up and enjoy it from the second Leia's ship is boarded to that moment when Luke and Han and Chewy have their medals. The artwork doesn't hurt it at all and added something a little different from the old Star Wars novels I've picked up.
