Other than that I enjoyed the book very much.
I am dismayed at the lack of adult novels set in the timeline of the new trilogy of Star Wars movies. I guess the publishers are targeting the next generation of fans and believe that an old guy like me just wants to read stories about Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewie.
Too bad, because I am very much taken by Rey, Poe, and Finn.
This book is set in a time before The Last Jedi and centers around the character of Rose, an engineer on one of the New Republic ships. Before her assignment to that ship, she was part of a bomber squadron with her sister Paige.
The New Order is blockading an independent system and the New Republic is asked to help by smuggling supplies to the resistance movement on one of the planets.
Part of what makes these books, and this one in particular, so satisfying is how they can inform the movies. In The Last Jedi, we met Rose and only got a glimpse of her sister, Paige. By reading this book, those quick scenes have much more emotional weight.
Borrow the book from the library or a friend.
