Quite a ride. These are my first forays into Star Wars books and it’s taken some adjustment. After having just the dialogue of the many times watched films, to hear / read the heroes say new dialogue was weird at first, but it worked. The Legends’ separation from the films also weird, so almost Star Wars adjacent in places. But overall, the trilogy delivered. A massively satisfying end to The Last Command, I’ll not spoiler it, but it’s a great payoff. The storylines come together very well and I almost yelped with joy!

On the less good side, I think Zain’s action sequences are probably stronger than the storylines, it wanders to seemingly dead ends but works out. I sometimes felt the heroes, especially Leia, were written into seemingly helplessness. Found that frustrating because Leia has always been an action oriented character.

All said, I’m very happy with the read and have ordered Darth Plagueis! Plan is to tackle that, Cloak of Deception, then prequel trilogy.
