I definitely agree with you on the second book. I found this one to be more in line with the excitement that I used to get reading the Legends novels. I'm about to start listening to the audiobook for the third book as well and I hope that I'm not sorely disappointed. I think the Sloane/Rex storyline hooked me in near the middle to end of this book. I'd go 3 out of 5 stars on this one.

I finally finished Star Wars: Aftermath: Life Debt last night and it's..................better than the first Aftermath novel (which is not a very hard thing to do) but even that is not saying much. I still don't care for the writing style but there were times I kind of gotten used to it, I'm sad to say. It honestly seems like just when this book took 2 steps forward in being a far better book than it really is, it took 3-5 steps back. I will give it credit for not having as many (unnecessary) interludes as the first book had and a few of them even actually connected to the main story and the dynamic and intrigue with Rae Sloane and Gallius Rax is very well-done and the novel did actually have most of the main cast of the original trilogy being involved this time, i.e. the characters of the Star Wars universe we actually give a damn about, which in turn, also helps us get into the franchise in the first place. Chuck Wendig's writing of them as well as the supporting characters of the films like Wedge, Admiral Ackbar, and especially Mon Mothma is a massive case of Your Mileage May Vary, though. I personally don't care much for it and the characters are far better-written elsewhere in the overall EU. While, technically speaking, the next current canon SW novel I should be reading is Aftermath: Empire's End and finally close out Chuck Wendig's overall trilogy, I am going to take a break from his writing style and his writing for a while before I get to it. So, up next, it's Battlefront II: Inferno Squad.

Well, turns out, we can forget about the Aftermath trilogy now. Thrawn is back bitches! Timothy Zahn has a new novel next year! Guaranteed day one hardcover purchase for me! :D (So Han Solo isn't written well in this? That's what I always think about Han in the new main Star Wars comics)

I have a feeling Thrown will be familiar to what he was in Legends... but I think many changes will come. Makes me wonder if there will be an appearance in the Empires End book coming in January, an introduction maybe. Seems like many authors have a hard time nailing Han's voice.

TheGeeksAttic Whenever Jason Aaron gets a hold of Han he portrays as an idiot which is not what I expect from Han.

+TheGeeksAttic I can't stand how Troy Denning write Han. He makes him into a loudmouth, obnoxious, Abrasive, Jerkface.

Hi Matthew,I liked your review however I do not agree with all your comments....I do not mind the interludes but agree they break the pace but I think they will somehow tie in with the story as a whole eg. Book 1 and Mon Mothma demilitarising the New Republic, Han and Chewie going off to free Kashyyk but that is just me.I will say I enjoyed this book so much more than book 1. The pace was definitely different and the imperial storyline was much better.I agree about how the characters of Han was written and to a lesser extent Leia. Han just did not fit even if you take into consideration his desperation and grief he felt towards the fate of Chewie.I have just started Empire's End then it will be Bloodline and Twilight Company on your recommendations....

+Emperorvalse Hope you enjoy those books. Twilight Company especially. I thought that book was underrated, marketing didn't really push it.
