Would love to have got this but I get the adult ones

Don't let the fact that it's a Young Adult novel fool you. The YA novels that have come out the last few years are really good, especially Lost Stars.

Yay, I look forward to Padmé getting some depth.

^^Seconded, Brandon.

@Rover If you can enjoy a family-oriented film like Toy Story, then you can get a lot of enjoyment out of a YA novel. They’re quick, easy reads, often packed with action and adventure.

^Also seconded. So far I have not disliked a single new canon YA novel, and Lost Stars is for sure my favorite. I do also enjoy some of the adult and "junior" ones too though.

(Granted, I am a young adult, but I read from multiple are groups so I don't think I'm extremely biased)

Love your enthusiasm, Wabble33. Have you read Heir to the Jedi by any chance, though? Because your opinion might change a little, haha.

Man that book really did read as as a YA novel, especially with the first person perspective from Luke. But with all of the complicated details and language incorporated, I guess I shouldn't be surprised it got labelled an "adult" novel. Only piece of the New Canon I would admit to want to not read again.

It wasn't that bad. I wouldn't reread it cover to cover again probably, but I'd certainly pick it up and flick through it reading the good bits for a half hour.

Edit: upon thinking, I probably will reread it cover to cover, maybe next week.

Best bits for me were some of the explanations of hyperspace travel, which came as a nice surprise when I got to finally finish reading it shortly after The Last Jedi ( even though I read it on and off for like two to three years). Other than that, though I didn't really find it compelling other than the sexual tension between Luke and that female character he seemed to want to end up with.
