I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this entire series. Usually I'm not one for tie-ins (or movie novelizations), but the world and characters that Traviss creates is an amazing one. It almost feels like it is a bubble tucked away within the larger Star Wars universe, one that I would like to revisit again.

Read 10% and gave up. Too slow, too confusing, too generic, too nowadays tech and ideas (in supposedly far future). But mainly too slow-going.

I read the original Galaxy’s Edge story last year.
And now this. Wow.
I could pick nits, but I won’t.
It was a great read. I look forward to more from you.

What I wanted: A series about commandos undertaking secret missions and covert ops.
What I got: A soap opera about relationships and self-loathing.
