I’ll admit that I’m quite late to the party when it comes to the Star Wars novelizations so I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this! I know for sure I didn’t want simply a re-hash of the film, I think a novelization should offer something a little bit more, whether it’s extra scenes … More Review: The Force Awakens Novelization by Alan Dean Foster
It starts and ends with Jakku, a dead planet on the very edges of the Western Reaches. As soon as I started this book I started to wonder, are we finally going to find out why everyone wants to go back to Jakku?!

Although there is action aplenty, Revis has managed to create a deeply personal, unflinching account of one of the most … More Review: Rebel Rising by Beth Revis
Lost Stars is an extremely accessible book – all you need to enjoy this novel is to have watched the Original Trilogy. It spans across the entirety of the Original Trilogy, taking us right up to the Battle of Jakku. It’s the story of two young recruits, Ciena Rae and Thane Kyrell, as they join … More Review: Lost Stars by Claudia Gray
