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?! Star Wars: Aftermath Life Debt is the second book in Chuck Wendig’s … More Review: Life Debt by Chuck Wendig
This book was, and I say this knowing fully well the magnanimity of this statement (in my little world anyway!), quite possibly the best Star Wars book I have ever read!

It’s the story of two young recruits, Ciena Rae and Thane Kyrell, as they join … More Review: Lost Stars by Claudia Gray
Every now and then, a book comes along when you least expect it, sneaking up on you quietly before absolutely blowing your mind. Phasma by Delilah S Dawson did that to me. I was expecting to like Phasma (I mean, it’s a Star Wars book – what’s not to like?!), a book about a mysterious, … More Review: Phasma by Delilah S. Dawson
