Unabridged Audiobook
Good book. Interesting things about the political landscape of the galaxy before and during The Force Awakens are learned.
There was a lot of political wrangling in the first half of the book, but it picked up by the end.
It's a pretty good book. But since I'm not a fan of the Sequel Trilogy and some of the Disney Canon books. Some of the story plots fell flat for me. But it is written well, and I enjoy the authors works.
I love it! Books about political sci fi are my passion and this one is one of the best
Excellent listening
I am a huge Star Wars fan and I loved this book. The story focuses more on the political side of the Star Wars universe and excellently told the story of what happened between ROTJ & TFA movies. There are several action sequences also. The reading was done very well but with one small complaint- some of the “male voices” that were done, were on the humorous side. Sounded like a surfer dude trying to do a deep voice. I also would have enjoyed more background noises/ sound effects- but there were several areas of the book where this was done well. Overall, this is a great audio book and well worth the listen. May the force be with you.
This was a very entertaining book. I liked the characters, both new and old. I really liked the narrator’s voice as well and the theatrical touch with the sounds and the music. Definitely worth a listen.
Can't defend that the pacing is rather dry for maybe the first third. But the ending is well executed
a sound story no real reveals but what can you expect from Lucas Films Han Solo was depicted very poorly though narration average Studio production could have been a little better
This book was absolutely wonderful! The narration with the sound effects makes the book more interesting and engage able. Princess Leia has always been a big hero to me, so it was nice to get a feeling of how she works on a day to day basis and tries to be three steps ahead of people. I am just beginning my journey on the Star Wars adventures outside of the movies and I think this was a nice way to keep my interest peeked to learn more about the vast galaxies.
Great book with good narration even 3po sounds a little off. Ok alot off but don't let that stop you from getting it. Hes about .05% of the book. Really interesting political thriller. Game of thrones meets star wars.
It was a good book and definitely clears up a lot of info about how the resistance was formed! It was also a fun story about Princess Leia and what's going on with her after the empire falls. Han Solo makes an appearance for awhile, and while we don't hear from Luke or Ben we do hear about Leia's attempts to contact them. Overall it's a good addition to the new canon books in the Star Wars universe. Also the narrator did a great job as well, and the sound effects added a lot to the atmosphere of the scenes rather than drown it out.
Enjoyed the story. Narration was a bit off though
Great chapter in the star war saga.
Enjoyed the audiobook very much. New to the expanded star wars universe and can't wait to continue the adventures.
Great read 5 stars Han Solo impression could've been better
Well executed book, interesting story, and great narration. Really made the intense parts that much more exciting. Well produced, a lot of effects and background music. Even with effects tho c3po was just really bad.
Great book and narrator but the Han Solo impression was terrible
AMAZING BOOK from a person that really gets Star Wars, This is the 2nd adventure @ClaudiaGray has taken me on following Lost Stars. Unlike some others, I really enjoy Star Wars Politics and is one of the things that separates it from other lesser Fantasy/Sci-Fi series. It let you understand how Palpatine came to power over both Anakin and the Galaxy. Like Frank Herbert, Claudia Gray lets you understand the entire picture from a Galactic Level down to a small girl on a planet learning what she wants to do for the rest of her live. January did a great job with almost all of the voices she did, but C3PO was not enjoyable in EVERY audio book I have he seems to be nailed down very well, but he was not good when done by January or whomever voiced this part. Leia and all female voices however were PERFECT, each sounded very distinct and did not lose any of the uniqueness as the story carried on. I still give it a 5 for narration because she did such a great job on all female and most male roles. I will listen to this again.
