Leia will and always has been my favorite character from Star Wars. Unlike every other teenage boy who saw the original trilogy it was never that dumb bikini it was always her strength. She could shoot people, she didn’t take crap from no one, and she new what needed to be done. It also helped that an awesome lady like Carrie Fisher brought her to life.

This finally gives a glimpse of what Alderaan could have been like. What drove her as a child, what got her as that young women on the CR90 running from a star destroyer, only to verbally slap the dark lord of the sith?

I also appreciated a few tidbits thrown in to wrap up some lose end from the Clone Wars on a few characters.

Really enjoyed this book, hope others do as well.
