About the Book
This thrilling Young Adult novel gives readers a macro view of some of the most important events in the Star Wars universe, from the rise of the Rebellion to the fall of the Empire. Readers will experience these major moments through the eyes of two childhood friends–Ciena Ree and Thane Kyrell–who have grown up to become an Imperial officer and a Rebel pilot. Now on opposite sides of the war, will these two star-crossed lovers reunite, or will duty tear them–and the galaxy–apart? Star Wars: Lost Stars also includes all-new post-Star Wars: Return of the Jedi content, as well as hints and clues about the upcoming film Star Wars: The Force Awakens, making this a must-read for all Star Wars fans.
My Take on the Book
In this new Star Wars book, the author does a great job at creating a world and a whole new story that fits well into the Star Wars cannon. We loved the new characters and the cultural environment that is created in the story. On top of this there is a great mix of action, drama and more that propels you through the book. You are brought through the life of the characters and you see how their lives intertwine over the years. If you loved The Force Awakens, this book goes deeper into the world when the when Alderaan was destroyed and how difficult it can be to balance duty with what is right.
There are new characters that are introduced and even some characters that you have come to love over the years too. We see the relationship between Thane Kyrell and Ciena Ree grow and evolve which makes the book fun too.
We have loved reading this book together and as Star Wars fans, this was a book that held true to what I would expect and gave me even more too. This is definitely a must read for any Star Wars fan!
