Star Wars

This did not work for me and I detected that quickly. Ronin is a great short, and it's one of those things that I don't think having more of is that much of a good thing. There are many, many characters in this book. Too many, I think. I wish it had focused on the Ronin and Fox and left many of the others behind. It felt too scattered and felt very long and drawn out because of that. Every time we got to a Kouru chapter I wanted to skip it because I found that character and their story uninteresting.

I considered DNF'ing this about halfway through and looked at reviews here to see what the flavour was. I am disappointed in them. A lot of people pissy about pronouns and queer storylines in Star Wars. Dumb. The editing in this book was not good and there are too many adverbs. The pronouns are not the problem nor are the relationships. Get over it.

A bit clunky at points but the setting is great. Star Wars would benefit greatly from broader perspectives and alternative universes.
