Star Wars: Princess Leia Review

Finished reading Star Wars: Princess Leia, furthering the adventures of Princess Leia as she try's to bring together the last of the Alderannan people who were off the planet when it was destroyed by the Death Star. The book opens up in the closing moments of A New Hope as the Rebel Alliance celebrate the destruction of the Death Star and mourn the numbers that they lost. After the ceremony Princess Leia Organa meets with an Alderaanian pilot named Evaan, as Leia talks Evaan into to joining her and R2 D2 on a personal mission to find any remaining Alderaanian's in the galaxy and hopefully reunite them due to their planet being destroyed by the Death Star. After a trip to Naboo the Alderaanian's begin to be tracked by the Empires forces thanks to a girl named Tace getting into contact with her sister Tula, who unknown to Tace is working for the Empire. This causes an Imperial Star Destroyer to follow them to the Planet Sullust where Leia and Evaan meet with another colony of Alderannan's when they are ambushed by an army of Stormtroopers. Overall this was a good book as its a great character piece for Leia by showing how dedicated she is to her people while adding more to her backstory thanks to the use of flashbacks and other indications about her past. The use of the supporting cast members like Uwa and Jora works nicely as the two leaders of the Alderannan Colonies end up having a great side story towards the end of the book, even though both characters were introduced a fair way into the book. While addition of Eveen to to story is used greatly as she feels almost like a secondary main character due to having same amount if not more development than Leia throughout, which doesn't steal any of the spotlight from Leia as Eveen's character development helps to further develop Leia's character thanks to how they interact with one another. 7.5/10.
