ThisStar Wars: Ahsokareview contains spoilers.
Writing about Jedi in the aftermath of Order 66 is a delicate process.
Johnston tackles that problem with mixed results.
Ahsoka Tano is on the run.
Now she almost preferred the solitude.
If she was alone, she didnt have to make choices that affected anyone other than herself.
Ahsoka even thinks of Padme as one of her inspirations.
However, it would have been nice to have seen more from the other characters points of view.
When not on Raada, Ahsoka is in hiding with the Fardi family.
He and the main Imperial officer could also have been given more characterization.
Although the book starts out slow, Ahsokas heroics make for an entertaining story in the faster-paced second half.
The show did a lot of that work, but the novel takes it the rest of the way.
Megan Crouse is a staff writer.
