I absolutely loved the first book of the series, which I make quite well known in the discord. It's my absolute favourite canon novel. This one ends up in pretty much the same place, or might even kick that one off its throne. It is yet again a brilliant, BRILLIANT book. The characters get more fleshed out and you learn more about them, they interact in different ways, and as an example I absolutely adore the 'friendship' Wyl and Math have now, just like the one Chass and Quell have. ...at first, that is. The things that happen after some information comes out is one punch in the gut after the other and the squadron sort of splits up. The cult Chass ends up on really is something I haven't really seen before in Star Wars (and real life, luckily) and her interaction with the TIE pilot who appears to be Seedia are really interesting. I couldn't stop reading the parts with Quell, Adan (I never thought I'd say this, but may he rest in piece) and IT-O (may he actually rest in piece). Those conversations had me glued to the pages and the things that happened there were so sad to me. I really liked that droid and somehow I started to like Adan this book. I can go on for hours about this book but man.... I think...yeah, I liked this one even more than the first one. 10/10 for sure.
