Leia: Princess of Alderaan by Claudia Gray
4.0
This was a surprise. Most SW content nowadays is bland nostalgia, spiced with name dropping and droids.
But this has actually a suspenseful story with believable character development.
The beginning was a bit slow for me, and I feared I picked a SW Child book by accident (again...). Cause it starts with Teenagers, soon to be senators, doing some team building exercises. At the beginning I lamented, that this should be more of a political spy thriller, and it turned into exactly that. I'm glad, that I had the patience to let the book move in a appropriate pace with the plot.
Putting Tarkin in there wasn't necessary but it worked for me.
