Star Wars: Ahsoka by EK Johnston
Synopsis:
Fans have long wondered what happened to Ahsoka after she left the Jedi Order near the end of the Clone Wars, and before she re-appeared as the mysterious Rebel operative Fulcrum in Rebels. Finally, her story will begin to be told. Following her experiences with the Jedi and the devastation of Order 66, Ahsoka is unsure she can be part of a larger whole ever again. But her desire to fight the evils of the Empire and protect those who need it will lead her right to Bail Organa, and the Rebel Alliance.
Review:
Ahsoka is on the run and just wants to hide away like Obi Wan. But she isn’t willing to stand aside as her new friends become overrun by the Imperial troopers. She’s an intriguing character with a lot of talent. This standalone story follows Ahsoka as she tries to help defenseless farmers against the ruthless Empire and her path that eventually leads her to the Rebel Alliance.
This young adult novel is exciting and full of adventure, intrigue, and suspense. Events build to a strange pause when Ahsoka goes off-planet for a while and then returns, which made for some awkward pacing. But once the pacing picks back up, the climactic ending doesn’t disappoint. Young Star Wars fans will want to pick up this fun, new story with plenty of heart.
