Claudia Gray is one of my favorite Star Wars writers, and I just loved this story of teen Leia. I liked the exploration of the limitations of politics, what we're willing to sacrifice and for what, and how to balance being a person with your duties. It's a really lovely coming of age story. 

It's also got a ton of really fun call forwards sprinkled in, all while being a fairly stand alone novel. The ending made me tear up because ugh... it's so hopeful on its own but so sad overall.
