Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Oh man, this hurts. Im going to try and explain without major spoilers, but if you are worried about that, you are deluding yourself into thinking this book is worth spoiling. And before i start getting bashed as a hater or a fanboy who hates disney, let me tell you, i LOVE what disney has been doing. Loved Last Jedi, love the idea of spin offs, man i even loved the first aftermath book. I have consumed every bit of starwars, ive purchased every single Legends book ever published, and i never thought id come across something i hated. Until this book. This book just isnt starwars. It doesnt feel like starwars. Some people were so put off with the aftermath books, but i can deal with wierd writing styles. But this book just didnt know what it wanted to be. It is written in a juvenule prose (caf!) (Ass whuppin!), etc.. Everything is way over the top, the author over used the concept of flashbacks, literally. Every. Single. Chapter. Fliped across 3 different timelines its jarring and takes you out of the story. Character development was abysmal.. cant even say it existed, really. They introduce a human character who has a non-binary gender identity, which ok if youre going to try and add to the universe and branch away from traditional character archetypes, at least give us a background for them so we actually care. It just comes off as (hey look at me, im woke too guys!). Lando's love interest? No backgound, no character development aside from 'hey im here, and ive like lando for years!' Dont even get me started on an ewok slicer. Ok yeah, right, a civilization who used sticks and rocks for weapons and thinks a droid is a god is simehow capable of slicing into complex galactic government databases 2 years later??? And the gungan.. wasted opportunity. Just felt like the authir made a poor attempt to right george lucas' wrongs by "fixing" the gungans by making one talk "normal". But like anither reviewer stated: gungans= proud race, dont need fixing. The only thing the author accomplished was manage to make Han Solo come off as a racist d bag... not cool man. I could complain for days.. its that bad. Ive never, NEVER, written an online review for anything.. in my life. But i had to for this book. The ONLY thing that is keeping me from snapping my kindle in half as i read this is the fact the author did a decent job if showcasing Han's inner turmoil and ineptitude at fatherhood and explains part of the reason Ben Solo turn out as the disgruntled galactic being of the year. Lastly, this book is not worth $15. Do yourself a favor, get a group together and split the purchase of a paperback and share it. The people at disney dropped the quality control ball on this one. You want to bring in fresh blood? Fine, but make sure it is a product worth charging me for. Every. (Slams the table) Single.(another slam) Time. (Final slam)
