It is a time of renewal, five years after the destruction of the Death Star and the defeat of Darth Vader and the Empire. But with the war seemingly won, strains are beginning to show in the Rebel Alliance. New challenges to galactic peace have arisen. And Luke Skywalker hears a voice from his past. A voice with a warning. Beware the dark side. The Rebel Alliance has destroyed the Death Star, defeated Darth Vader and the Emperor, and driven the remnants of the old Imperial Starfleet back into barely a quarter of the territory that they once controlled. Leia and Han are married, are expecting Jedi twins, and have shouldered heavy burdens in the government of the new Republic. And Luke Skywalker is the first in a hoped-for new line of Jedi Knights.

This book have totally blown my mind because it was so fucking good. And I gotta say that is the best book to start your Star Wars book journey if you haven’t read any star wars books. 

If you have seen the original trilogy which was realised in the late 70s and early 80s you should be able to pin up this book without being confused on what is happening in this book.

In this book we get the OG characters which get even better than the movies because we get to learn more about them and we get to follow their adventures after the original trilogy. 

We get also introduced to some new characters like Mara Jade which is one of my favourite characters from the star wars books because of her journey from the dark side to being an Jedi.

Overall we get amazing and strong characters. And all of them have something unique to them which I love when it happens. 

The plot here is just wow. It is super amazing and I couldn’t pull myself away from the book. There is so much action here and we get a lot of our OG characters in this book which I’ve loved. 

The writing style here is complete amazing. It felt like it was written by George Lucas but of course it wasn’t. I need to give the author extra points for making this book feel like the original trilogy and not like trash which Disney is turning star wars to. 

I Give This Book 5 / 5
