I live for Sequel-Era content so by definition I'm happy with this book. We get some much-needed development for the Resistance, the situation on the galaxy, and the new characters.

I never cared much for Poe beyond his charisma (total credit to Oscar Isaac) but this really helped me understand more of his character and appreciate him more (and the scenes he has with Finn? OOF! The author did it for us, stormpilot shippers)

But although I really enjoyed the last half or so of the book a lot, I can't deny that the set up was a bit tiring, and that expanding more on what happened with the Resistance after episode VIII would've been highly beneficial.

I understand this came out before the final movie and couldn't give too much away, but I was definitely left wanting more, for better or for worse.
