Description

This New York Times best-selling Star Wars Young Adult novel now available on paperback! The reign of the Galactic Empire has reached the Outer Rim planet of Jelucan, where aristocratic Thane Kyrell and rural villager Ciena Ree bond over their love of flying. Enrolling at the Imperial Academy is nothing less than a dream come true for both of them. But Thane sours on the dream when he sees firsthand the horrific tactics the Empire uses to maintain its ironclad rule. Bitter and disillusioned, he joins the fledgling Rebellion--putting Ciena in an unbearable position between her loyalty to the Empire and her love for the man she''s known since childhood. Now on opposite sides of the war, will these friends turned foes ever find a way to be together, or will duty tear them--and the galaxy--apart? This paperback edition includes the exciting first chapter from Claudia Gray''s novel, Leia: Princess of Alderaan. Read more

  • Everything AFTERMATH was not
If the measure of a good book is whether you devour it in one sitting, then this is a good book. Despite its billing, this 40-year old reviewer enjoyed this "young adult novel." Its not so much a "young adult romance" as it is a coming of age story. Yes, there is romance, but it is handled in a way that does not distract from the overall plot. While the characters are young adults, the dialogue is not juvenile. Although I had some quibbles (listed below), overall I was very satisfied with this book. The prose is easy to read; the dialogue believable and true to the series (i.e.--no lame modern day idioms). The characters are very likeable and the reader is able to identify with them. The "tone" of the book is true to the Star Wars universe. With minor exceptions, the book does a good job of staying "in universe." Plotwise, this book chronicles the journey of two star-crossed provincials that are caught up and indoctrinated by the empire at a young age. Without spoilers, this book chronicles their journey on either side of the Galactic Civil War. We get to see the main events of the O.T. through their eyes. And, the last 2 chapters gives a "bridge" with The Force Awakens. Also, we get to see how the empire affected the lives of everyday citizens and how the first "Empire Generation" splits and gradually becomes disillusioned/hardened by its policies. The book also contains several allusions to modern day politics, but it is handled well and not obvious or in your face (i.e. "We needed to rebuild the second Death Star; otherwise the terrorists would have won"). Below are my quibbles: (SPOILERS) 1. The plot, at times, is too convenient and contrived. Our heros are literally at the center of every major scene/battle from the O.T. But, I suppose this can be explained by the fact that they were at the top of their class and just graduated--thus, they were more than likely to be at the center of the action. Still, at times, the plot is overly convenient, esp. those instances where the two lovers find themselves involved on opposite sides of the main battle. 2. The one "in universe" complaint I had was that one of the major characters becomes a Lt. Commander on a super star destroyer and yet is allowed to fly a basic tie fighter with no shields into the thick of combat. 3. I was not a fan of the ending. Must have been focused-grouped. The natural and satisfying conclusion would for the two doomed lovers to go down in each others' arms in flames with the lost star destroyer. The "rescue" felt forced and left the main characters in an unsatisfying end. Despite these quibbles, I am still giving this book 5 stars, if for no other reason that this book is PARSECS ahead of the abomination called Aftermath. Indeed, this is the book that Aftermath should have been. Unlike Aftermath, here we get likable characters, a coherent plot, a fluid, easy-to-read narrative, no forced social agenda, and no silly in verse memes, earth idioms, or juvenile dialogue. Summary: Although by no means high-literature, this books was a satisfying read and shed some new light on the S.W. universe. A refreshing read after the monstrosity of Aftermath. ... show more

  • Romeo Stars and Juliet Wars
"Two households, both alike in dignity," Star Wars: Lost Stars is pretty much Romeo and Juliet in space...and that is a verygood thing. Our dashing hero and heroine, Ciena and Thane (really, though? Thane? ...sounds like he just stepped outta Twilight with that name...) hail from similar households on the same planet, and they both have similar dreams and skills, and the setup is cute - not the kinda cute that it makes it stupid, but the kinda cute that makes the readers invested in the two main characters, their growth, and most importantly their friendship. "In fair Verona, where we lay our scene," Actually, it’s on Jelucan, a typical Star Wars planet with some peace-loving traditional folk, and some more modernized slightly snobby folk. But it’s set up well, and the changes that take place to the planet itself are just as tragic and heartbreaking as what happens to Ciena and Thane (Thane...perhaps he just stepped out of someone’s D&D session...?). Oh, should I tag this with a spoiler alert? ...it is Romeo and Juliet (in space), after all... "From ancient grudge break to new mutiny," Actually, the grudge isn’t that ancient because at the beginning of the book the Empire is just starting out. I really appreciated how Gray shows the Empire trying to be good, and running its propaganda so that, in the aftermath of the Clone Wars, some galactic citizens were genuinely happy to be ruled by the Empire (until, inevitable, they were’t). It was a very refreshing perspective. "Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean." Brother fighting brother! Lover fighting lover! Oh, the humanity!! "From forth the fatal loins of these two foes" Actually, unlike Romeo and Juliet, after the “households” are established, they only show up again to move the plot along - but when they do show up to move the plot along, the readers are emotionally invested and so their few scenes work remarkably well. "A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;" Ah, spoiler alert. (Or is it?) "Whose misadventured piteous overthrows" Star Wars: Lost Stars does a marvelous job of using the events of the original trilogy to anchor the plot, but it never becomes a gimmick or a crutch. There are more than enough scenes and locations that don’t appear in the original trilogy so you never feel like Gray couldn’t come up with her own ideas (that is certainly not the case in this book). "Do with their death bury their parents' strife." Ah, spoiler alert. (Or is it?) "The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love," At the beginning of the novel I was afraid that the relationship would be a typical YA romance (read: shallow). It was not. Do understand, that this is still Star Wars, and it is still YA, but the struggles, joys, fears, and devastations of Ciena and Thane (...didn't Batman fight a Thane once or twice...? Oh, no that was Bane...) are very real. "And the continuance of their parents' rage," Well, more like the continual rage of Empire and Rebellion... "Which, but their children's end, nought could remove," Ah, spoiler alert. (Or is it?) (How many times can I use this cop-out...?) "Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;" The plot of the book moves very quickly, and often months pass between chapters. As a result the relationship between Ciena and Thane (sigh) get time to grow naturally. It’s not, unlike the actual Romeo and Juliet, a relationship that is a thirty-six hour fling. In fact, the romance of Lost Stars is much more believable because it endures time, real growth, hardship, and the joys that follow. "The which if you with patient ears attend," Some might find the book a bit rushed, especially if you’re looking for super insights into what’s been going on in the Star Wars Universe since the destruction of the second Death Star. But you gotta understand, Star Wars: Lost Stars is a character study, a look at a wonderful relationship between two characters as they grow from kids to adults, a look at why some people found the Empire to be the savior of the galaxy, a look at why some people found the Rebellion to be misguided, and a look at how a Star Wars novel can work wonders when it’s focused on the normal people rather than always being focused on the lightsabers or X-Wings. Also, great ending. FYI. "What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend." Star Wars: Lost Stars easily romances itself right to the top of the Best Star Wars Novels of All Time list. Go read it, and give Claudia Gray your money so that Disney gets the hint and commissions more Star Wars novels like this one. Claudia Gray, this is wonderfully written, and beautiful book. Fantastic job. ... show more
