I haven't been super impressed with the state of Star Wars publishing in general for a while because it often feels like books are being published to fill a quota or some corporate synergy to promote the Upcoming Big Thing, rather than because they actually have a meaningful story to tell - so we end up with situations where it feels like someone at Del Rey is like, 'Okay, so this year we need our annual Thrawn book, a novel to promote Galaxy's Edge, a novel for the Journey to The Rise of Skywalker marketing push.' and Resistance Reborn felt like a product of that. The canon connectivity was super rewarding for people who have been keeping up with all of the extra story content as it comes out (in my head I was comparing this book to the Avengers, where we have sequel era characters, classic movie characters, book characters, comic characters and videogame characters all teaming up in the one story) but overall I was kinda disappointed with Resistance Reborn. I just don't see the hype the people worshipping his character in SW book Facebook groups, here on Reddit, Discord, JCF, etc. I quite enjoyed how he went from aspiring cog in the machine to a man embracing his darker nature because the First Order allows him too. I will say Winshur's chaotic spiral was realistic, but fell into a great many tropes.Įdit: And I'm not saying Winshur Bratt is a bad character. Again, I know I'm in the extreme minority on this. Tons of people are hailing him as this deep, multi-faceted exploration of how a First Order cog in the machine descends into 'true evil' but it felt very one dimensional and generic to me. I'll get downvoted to the Outer Rim and back for saying this, but I just didn't feel Bratt had much depth. Good story that builds as the novel goes on, great grasp of the characters, and it really feels important to the Sequel Trilogy. I especially enjoyed how much this built off Claudia Gray's Bloodline.

Roanhorse wove together lots of continuity in this one which was nice to see happen for the Sequel Era. If you ever forget this simply type spoiler help in a comment for a reminder.
