I thought this was such a fun novel that really did start the series of to bang. It is set at the tale end of the new hope saga but it was such a great read. I loved the subtle tie backs to characters and worlds that we know. i really loved the timeline of this book because it streached years and followed these two characters throughout the battle between the rebellion and the empire. I loved the two characters in this read. There realtionship was very unique and found it to be a nice balance between friends and maybe something more. This book also tackled loyalty and staining up for what you believe in. I really flew through this read! excited to tackle more reads in this long series soon.
