Description is sparse but the prose is fine. There are more impressive moments than outright flaws, but the first half fails to create momentum. This isn’t an essential book, nor is it the most tightly plotted of the Star Wars offerings. Right in the middle of all of that is Resistance pilot Poe Dameron, whose mutiny during The Last Jedi leaves him in an uncertain place. Her plan is four-fold: visit an old political ally on Ryloth steal back captured Resistance ships headed for a First Order scrap yard find some ex-Imperial contacts who have no love for the First Order and rescue political prisoners who could bring the Resistance valuable leadership skills. With the Resistance down to only enough crew members to fit on the Millennium Falcon, General Organa calls for help. As far as Star Wars novels go, this is a thoroughly average one from an accomplished author, and even if I didn’t love this book, I’d love to see more Star Wars from Rebecca Roanhorse. It explains some of what happened after the battle on Crait, while Poe Dameron reckons with his actions during Episode VIII. Star Wars: Resistance Rebornis in a difficult spot: ostensibly filling in the gaps between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker but also constrained by the mystery of the latter.
