Una gran decepción, leyendo la sinopsis me imaginaba una historia que ilustraba la situación política y social de la Galaxia de Star Wars justo después de la destrucción de la Estrella de la Muerte, que sirviera de lazo para entender como se llega a la situación de la séptima película. Sin embargo, me he encontrado una aventurrilla más, dónde los personajes principales están llenos de clichés e incoherencias; los malos tienen más carisma que los buenos y las microhistorias de los interludios me interesan más que el argumento central. Además el ritmo es lento y las plot twist predecibles. Se lleva 3 estrellas por la mejora que experimenta al final y por los guiños y las referencias al universo Star Wars. De todos modos, no recomiendo la novela a no ser que se sea muy muy fan de la saga.

My God, what a crappy book. I mean it's a Star Wars novel so it's not like I was expecting Of Mice and Men, but jeez. The characters were ridiculously flat, every single one of them. There's not a character in the book i cared about at the end. There's so little action it's immensely boring in places. The characters we all know barely (and only 3-4 of them) make an appearance in this. It read like “we need to tell a star wars story, but don't have the rights to the names, so you know have fun with that” except they totally do have the rights and totally could have come up with a story that was even kinda good, but they didn't and this book sold like crazy because we're suckers and “STAR WARS!!!” : If it hadn't taken me so long to get to reading it, I would have tried to return it.I started reading and put the book down, it was that bad. i came back to finish it for two reasons;1. so I could honesty review it2. in the hopes it got magically better, it didn'tThere's some foreshadowing for future books (I assume that's the intent), but even that isn't that interesting and when I finally finished, i wasn't at all anxious to read the next part of the story. I honestly couldn't care less about even one of the characters in this story and certainly have no interest in what happens to them next.
