A review by theroguerebels
Phasma by Delilah S. Dawson

5.0

“I am Phasma, and I am the greatest warrior of Parnassos.”

THIS IS THE MOST METAL STAR WARS BOOK EVER.
That’s right I said it. Not just because of her shiny armor choices either. Phasma reveals the backstory of this warrior. Not Captain. Not trooper. Warrior. Phasma is nothing short of a force of nature in this book.

Must… resist… only talking about Phasma…

This is the first time we are introduced to Resistance spy Vi Moradi! The story revolves around her capture by the First Order Captain Cardinal. Through an interesting turn of torture and interrogation, Phasma’s story and origins are revealed.

Delilah Dawson gives us a thrilling tale. I can’t help but compare it to some sort of Lost, Mad Max, Hunger Games, type of adventure. I personally enjoyed little things like The Nautilus, Keldo, the detraxors, the defense grid, grey sand, an especially dangerous dug, U5-GG, children of Jakku, Frey, knitting in hyperspace, the golden beetle, droid believers, the arena and the Arratu, the cursed Gand, radiation, the unknown malady, the happabore, and the Naboo chrome!

This book rocks. The action is ruthless and bloodthirsty and savage. While most Star Wars books give us blaster shootouts or saber duels this book uses violence on a whole ‘nother level. It’s definitely dark and dangerous but the characters are what make this book. Phasma is a force of nature and all those around her are in awe… or fear. This one is a MUST-READ. For all those curious about Phasma, THIS is where you need to look.
