this book was great for the first third. once the crisis was over, it started dragging a lot. the writing style is very dense and often explores random tangents in the middle of the action, and the shifting povs make it hard to get invested in any specific thread of the plot. that said, it’s a very good setup for the rest of the plot of this era. the characters are likeable, i’m invested in their relationships with each other, and the stakes are flawlessly set up. it introduces new technology and a new setting for star wars very well, even if that means it’s dense at times. i liked it!
