About this ebook

Finally, her story will begin to be told. Following her experiences with the Jedi and the devastation of Order 66, Ahsoka is unsure she can be part of a larger whole ever again. But her desire to fight the evils of the Empire and protect those who need it will lead her right to Bail Organa, and the Rebel Alliance....

Ratings and reviews

It's nice to get a bridge between Clone Wars and Rebels, but it's otherwise mediocre. Johnston's writing just didn't pull me in. The characters didn't seem particularly memorable. Ahsoka didn't particularly feel like the character from the TV shows(She didn't feel particularly out of character either though, just , meh) If you want that bridge or need to read everything Star Wars then sure, it's an OK book, but otherwise, you're better off reading something else.

Probably the Bane trilogy would be my choice for a shining example of top shelf Star Wars Legend. This book focuses on a character that while introduced in a Disney Star Wars period, isn't an over the top, in your face beacon for the writer's social agenda. I wasn't a fan of every episode of Clone Wars, or Rebels, but when the character Ahsoka Tano entered the screen, I always felt excited to see how she would develop. The writer does this character development quite well, without being filler. Great book.

When it comes to Star Wars, one can't look at the Clone Wars series without wondering what happened to Anakin's Padawan learner, Ahsoka Tano. This book clears up that lost history and how the Rebel Alliance was born and how she came into being in the Rebels cartoon series. I must admit I was very angry when Lucas Films just let her walk away without any information on what happened to her. Disney saw the hole and let the author make the patch that brought continuity to her story.
