Very much enjoyed this one.  Like Lost Stars, it wasn’t horribly action-exciting, but didn’t once lose my attention.  Despite there not being a lot of action, it didn’t feel slow at all.  It was very interesting seeing the politics of the New Republic, which we got none of in the movie.  I enjoyed the characters as well, both the new ones and the known ones.  The characters brought in from the movies felt true and I liked seeing them in another time and position.

The writing was very much the same as Lost Stars.  Some of the style I still don’t prefer, but it worked.  It’s well done, just not how I like.  But it didn’t detract from my enjoyment at all.  I don’t really have much else to say, as I was too invested in reading it to put much effort into analyzing it.  That in itself is a good sign that it is a good read.
