Mostly reads like an adaptation from graphic novel storyboards. If you've seen Star Wars Rebels at all, it's easy to picture the characters, their expressions, and the framing of shots in action sequence. The book covers Kanan's backstory and introduction to Hera, where Kanan's physical attraction to Hera seems to override his well developed sense of self preservation. Best security I've ever seen in a Star Wars book

#comfortread I love this series.

This would probably be more fun if I'd remembered to read book 2.

Picked up halfway through after a slow start.

Like listening to Lee herself. The first story is going to stick with me for years.

A girl who wants to be an engineer, who wants to do something with technology, who wants to build a life with the family she loves, who wants to be whole in all the ways she's ever dreamed. Gosh, I needed more books like this.

This book looks like it's way better constructed than I expected. Layers. Motivations. Misgivings. A good pick so far.

Nothing anchors me into a setting more than water cutters, apparently. Snap! There I was in the machine shop, walking across the oil-soaked wood floors, smell of cutting oil and metal chips in my nose, weaving between the water cutter and 3D printers and CNC lathe booths, weighing whether to distract the machinists from their programming.

A four page infodump? Daring. I wonder what makes it work for one author but not another. Or is this audience more accepting?

What sounded on the cover like it might be a shallow cyberpunk romance already demonstrates an author capable of inverting tropes and drawing in complex family dynamics. I'm not sure the prologue was necessary, but I am sure this is going to be better than I thought. #forgedfamily #compositefamily #ifengineersruled #makerfantasy
