The Resistance and First Order are mirrors of each other, both being illegal instruments that infringes the Galactic Concordance. The final chapter of this book portrays Leia Organa as a recalcitrant warlord. Unable to shake off the hangover of Galactic Civil War, Leia Organa radicalizes members of the Republican Navy to join her private war. She ordered non-attributable raid into Galactic Empire territory and started a shooting war. The New Republic, by keeping a private militia (the Resistance) on a long leash, probably stoked insecurities on the side of the Galactic Empire - thereby compelling the Galactic Empire to re-militarize.

This book didn't interest me that much. This is odd considering how I loved all three of these main characters in The Force Awakens. The Finn story was meh but OK enough to have you a bit interested. The Rey story was by far the best part of the book. This was surprisingly somewhat decent. I didn't like the Poe story, though. It was just super bland, repetitive, predictable, and boring.

The set up for the movie is good. I love how little details from the movie are explained. However, the whole book is somewhat tedious with forced references, especially to minoks. I wouldn't recommend it for the price it is at now, but since it is short, it is worth a read.
