Aftermath: Life Debt by Chuck Wendig
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
It took me a little bit longer to get into Life Debt than Aftermath, but by the half way point the book gets cooking. I know many people were critical of Aftermath and praised Life Debt more, but I liked Aftermath a lot. I also like Life Debt. There’s more Han and Chewie, enough said. Admiral Sloane is a really interesting character and I’m curious to see what happens with her.
The first two books feel very much like a Star Wars story; Wendig does a great job of capturing the feel and the characters. It has to be daunting to write characters we know so well, like Han or Leia, but he does a believable job of portraying them. And the new characters he develops are quite good: Sinjir, Jas, and Mr. Bones are my favorites. Mr. Bones has some of the best lines: “A HUG IS LIKE VIOLENCE MADE OF LOVE” and “I ENJOY EVISCERATION.”
