The return of Wedge and Nora Wexley was welcome, and it gave clarity to Wedge’s appearance in The Rise of Skywalker. The humour is obvious, as is the rebuilding of the bridges damaged in the relationship between Leia and Poe, who is trying to make right what he did in The Last Jedi. As the book progressed it was clear that the release time of the book wasn’t going to give answer my questions, but nevertheless I could see Leia’s motivation and the determination of Poe to do the right thing this time. The sheer desperation of the Resistance is clear, they are at the lowest and almost you can sense a lack of hope but Leia’s strength and character does appear to come through. If a book gets me, I simply cannot put it down, and so it was with this. I was on a plane heading off on holiday it had my full attention for the week. Having read Claudia Greys books Bloodline and Lost Stars, I started this book ready for the journey and to be taken on a Star Wars adventure. I bought this book with the hope it would answer some of the questions I had between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker, and that it would give me an insight into Leia’s journey and how she became the Jedi Master for Rey. It was with the latter in mind I decided to buy Resistance Reborn by Rebecca Roanhorse. I need to say that before we any further I do not really read any Star Wars books….The ones I do read are the novelisation of the movies, books that bridge the gap between movies and anything that can give me a background to Leia.
