7/10
I read this one a little over 5 months ago. It was pretty solid. I started reading it to my youngsters thinking that they would love it, but it ended up being super technical to the point where I felt like I had to stop and explain everything to them every other sentence. So I read about 1/5 of the book to them before it was aborted, and I finished it on my own. It took me a while to get into this one and to learn the characters, but the book got better to further I read. I was almost done with it before I learned that this book ties into some video game. Not sure how that really works, but thought it was funny and shows how I'm still such a novice Star Wars guy. But this had a great premise and storyline, and I came to really like Freed's writing. On to the next one!
