STAR WARS AFTERMATH BOOK SERIES SERIES

Not just that, it leads right into one of the most aggravating things in this novel:Įverybody feels like they're entirely too horny, hormone-controlled juveniles. pointless, expected and a waste of time, though. The twist the book throws into the mix in those early chapters is. They're supposedly hunting imperial leaders, which we at least get to watch once. Norra Wexley and her team of Chuck Wendig's original characters are often painful to read about. To be sidelined.īefore that point, however, the book is an exceptional chore. He didn't really feel like Han in many scenes and got little actual screentime to boot, but hey, the Scoundrel is back. You know, the things you did not even get to be shown because the author was too busy writing bad romance plots.īy the 200 page point, things finally got a little interesting as Han Solo finally makes an actual appearance. That doesn't stop Wendig from telling the reader, as he is wont to do, how important this stuff was. One battle we 'see' is actually covered more in a short story by another author, it seems. I often found myself thinking I'd skipped a chapter on accident, but no, the content is just not there. It is the same for many of the actual WAR scenes in this Star WARS novel. Heck, Han's initial dilemma isn't even shown here - that happened between Aftermath and Life Debt. All the actual liberation activities outside of taking out the Imperial leader on the Wookiee homeworld happen off-screen. It promises grand action around the liberation of Kashyyyk, but that's barely an afterthought. The book's description alone is deceptive already. I wouldn't call it a mistake per se, because I'd have to read it one way or another, but I can't say I don't regret the time and money I spent on it. I finally got through it recently and figured hey, let's get through the second as well. I'd attempted to read the first one and didn't finish it. I'm still behind on a lot of things, of course, but I didn't want to keep pushing this trilogy ahead of me any longer.

I made a checklist to tick off all novel, novella, short story, comic and series releases.
