Full of snark, Ahsoka is a kickass, savage warrior! She is living as a mechanic named Ashla. GET IT?! Reading a Star Wars book is like throwing on an old, worn, comfy sweater for me. It just feels GOOD. All Star Wars books have a general vibe about them. This wasn't any different. However, I did find the writing lacked a bit of oomph. I much preferred Claudia Gray's writing in Lost Stars.
I found it far more captivating. Not to say that this wasn't interesting. It certainly was! It did perhaps suffer from being ALL about Ahsoka though. She is just such a badass character, it is hard to compete with her. The secondary characters were fairly meh. I wasn't that invested in them, to be honest.
I truly hope we will get a sequel from this, as there are many gaps to be filled before Ahsoka's Rebels storyline. It was a fun read that fills in some of the unknown about a strong character that is integral to many people within the Star Wars universe!
Jul 24, Greg rated it liked it. Dear God In Heaven. The Star Wars version of Hermione Grainger. Coming soon to a bookshop near you. I can't freakin' well, frackin' well, Nerf-Herdin' well wait. The book was beautifully produced, the writing pitched well at its Dear God In Heaven.
The book was beautifully produced, the writing pitched well at its intended audience. And then right at the end when we learn a little but more about crystals used in the production of light sabres.
But that was all. Oh, and there will never be an absence of Jedi's in training. Just an absence of those qualified to do the training. Yes, thats fair. Aug 12, R. Gammon rated it it was ok Shelves: family , pg , sci-fi , 2-star-books , i-am-so-disappointed , star-wars , sisters. A less than enjoyable writing style more telling than showing in just about everything and what I think was supposed to be LGBT undertones marred my approval of what could have been an amazing book.
The plot was well-paced, although the characters all kind of faded into one another. I very much loved getting to see Bail Organa again, though, no matter how brief it was. And Artoo never fails to disappoint. But as far as a story about Ahsoka goes As someone who didn't know much about Ahsoka aside from a handful of Clone Wars episodes I wasn't sure what to expect heading into the self titled novel.
What I ended up with was a deep appreciation of the diversity in Jedi characters in the ever expanding universe whilst discovering a likable and unique character in Ahsoka Tano sans Anaki Skywalker.
The plot is simple and linear. Fleeing following Order 66, Ahsoka seeks refuge on a little known moon, only to find herself in front of the Empire a As someone who didn't know much about Ahsoka aside from a handful of Clone Wars episodes I wasn't sure what to expect heading into the self titled novel. Fleeing following Order 66, Ahsoka seeks refuge on a little known moon, only to find herself in front of the Empire and being hunted by an inquisitor.
The deliberate ease of narrative ensures the protagonist takes center stage. While she takes on a number of personal missions for the greater good such is the Jedi way, it's Ahsoka's self discovery and character growth as a result of those missions which sticks with the reader.
Without spoiling there are a couple of nice cameos for the Star Wars fans to geek out over as a bonus. I also didn't mind the break in narrative in which author E. Johnson provides glimpses into Ahsoka's past battles and some other nice moments across the broader universe involving characters strongly liked to Ahsoka. My rating: 3. Written for younger readers, Ahsoka is a quick easy read which shines a spotlight on one of the more entertaining Jedi. Nov 01, Donna rated it really liked it Shelves: sci-fi.
This was a fun little Star Wars book to listen to. It had solid characters and it also had a wholesome view of friendship that was warm and fuzzy. And as always, the audios are fun because of the sound effects. I'm not familiar with all of the Clone Wars stuff, and I'm glad that this knowledge wasn't needed to enjoy this one. So 4 stars.
Ahsoka was so fun and a surprisingly fast read! The writing was so easy to follow and I loved how the plot wasn't anything overtly complicated and dramatic. There were also quite a few passages that hit me like a punch to the gut and made me way sadder than I thought I would be reading this book. May 22, C. Phipps rated it it was ok Shelves: space-opera , star-wars. Unfortunately, I'm going to say this is probably my least favorite of the canon novels which have been released so far.
This is doubly unfortunate because I'm actually a big fan of the Ahsoka Tano character and really enjoyed her retconned insertion into the Clone Wars as she enriched the story of Anakin Skywalker in a way which I felt the Prequels failed to do.

Like plenty of other adult fans, I enjoyed watching Ahsoka be inserted into the story of Star Wars: Rebels even if I did feel she detracted a bit from Kanan and Ezra's story.
So, I was eager to see what light the book would shed about her actions from the period of Revenge of the Sith to Rebels would be--and, unfortunately, it was about as exciting as watching Banthas graze. The premise of the book is Ahsoka settles on an agrarian farming world which the Empire takes over and she teaches the locals a bit about resistance fighting.
This results in things going pear-shaped and Ahsoka having to reveal her Jedi status. Then an Imperial inquisitor becomes involved and we know Ahsoka will survive because she shows up on Rebels as Fulcrum. There's a lot which annoyed me about this book but a short list would be the fact the farmers are all stock characters who feel like I've stepped into a GFFA version of Green Acres.
The Empire is engaged in eminent domain seizure as their "evil" plan, except they don't actually even seize the land from the locals or kick them off it. The farmers also tear up the Empire in their few encounters when the entire planet should look like Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru's farm's "after" picture from ANH the first time they attack. Finally, the Inquisitor is a one-dimensional antagonist with no real backstory or character who seems to exist to give Ahsoka someone to have a lightsaber fight with.
This book reminds me of the Michael Reaves and Steve Perry Death Star novel in the fact it seems allergic to stakes. I can't help but feel this book really needed to show why messing with the Empire was a bad idea and, conversely, why it had to be opposed.
Instead, it came off like a bunch of nutso militia men brutalizing some unsuspecting National Guard. Ahsoka, of all people, should be hesitant about throwing people into another conflict which will result in large numbers of casualties.
Ironically, my favorite moment from the book was a C-plot not even a B-one where our heroine comes across a child with the Force who can't be trained because it will result in the Empire hunting her down. It's a genuinely interesting plot and something which I would have liked to have seen more of. It certainly felt more relevant than the Seven Samurai story where the samurai weren't necessary.
I don't want to be unnecessarily harsh on this book. There's nothing really wrong with it, the writing is fine, but there's nothing really that happens here either or characters I felt were memorable. If you know who Ahsoka is, this is a must read. If you don't, move along. Actually, wait. Because, as it says in the title, it's her book. It's what happened to her after the betrayal of the Jedi.

And of course it's wonderful, written by someone who is a huge Star Wars fan, who has made a name for herself in the last couple of years as a writer of strong-willed female characters. So, to sum up: Book good. Read book. Yay, Ahsoka! View 2 comments. Feb 19, Shadowdenizen rated it really liked it Shelves: star-wars.

When Jyn Erso was five years old, her mother was murdered and her father taken from her to serve the Empire. But despite the loss of her parents she is not completely alone—Saw Gerrera, a man willing to go to any extremes necessary in order to resist Imperial tyranny, takes her in as his own, and gives her not only a home but all the abilities and resources she needs to become a rebel herself. Jyn dedicates herself to the cause—and the man. But fighting alongside Saw and his people brings with it danger and the question of just how far Jyn is willing to go as one of Saw's soldiers.
And also the solution is, absolutely. This is the authentic Ahsoka. Extra importantly than the mental visual appeals, her emotions as well as inspirations make sense. And examined it is.
