Waiting On...
Series: Star Wars Canon
Author: Claudia Gray
Publisher: LucasBooks
Publication Date: May 3, 2016
WITNESS THE BIRTH OF THE RESISTANCE
When the Rebellion defeated the Empire in the skies above Endor, Leia Organa believed it was the beginning to a lasting peace. But after decades of vicious infighting and partisan gridlock in the New Republic Senate, that hope seems like a distant memory.
Now a respected senator, Leia must grapple with the dangers that threaten to cripple the fledgling democracy — from both within and without. Underworld kingpins, treacherous politicians, and Imperial loyalists are sowing chaos in the galaxy. Desperate to take action, senators are calling for the election of a First Senator. It is their hope that this influential post will bring strong leadership to a divided galaxy.
As the daughter of Darth Vader, Leia faces with distrust the prospect of any one person holding such a powerful position — even when supporters suggest Leia herself for the job. But a new enemy may make this path Leia’s only option. For at the edges of the galaxy, a mysterious threat is growing…
Why I'm Waiting...
I'm hoping that you all know this by now, but if not, here it is again... I'm a huge fan of Star Wars. One of the new canon books that really surprised me was Claudia Gray's Lost Stars. I hadn't read anything by her before, so reading Lost Stars felt like a little risk for me, and it was one that paid off. I just thought that the novel was so well done, and I really enjoyed reading about completely different characters in a world in which I was already so familiar.
Claudia has a prequel to The Force Awakens coming out that I need to get my hands on! I knew that I was going to read this when only the title was out there, but now that I know that this book deals with Leia, I'm even more excited! I'm really interested to see how Gray comes up with the prejudice against Leia, and I really want to see how the Resistance rises.
What Are You Waiting On...
