[GuardianAngel87]

Just finished Star Wars: Guardians of the Whills today and it is a good read but not as good as it could've been given the title and the two characters that are given the spotlight there. A shame, really. It had a very good cover too. Kind of makes me wonder if the story was originally set to be a comic either as a one-shot or even as a mini-series. Anyway, Greg Rucka is a not a bad writer since I did like the Han Solo spotlight novel that he wrote two years ago and he did do a good job writing for the characters of Chirrut Imwe and Baze Malbus and of the world they lived in. This is probably just me being practically spoiled by Beth Revis's own Star Wars novel, Rebel Rising, which is the Disney canon SW novel I read before jumping into it. But sadly, it is rather underwhelming half the time even for a young reader novel. Almost little to no sense of world-building for the Guardians, the Whills, etc. as well as not even bothering to bringing about what they are like in their prime years before the Empire make their presence in Jedha or even before the Empire came to power is what kills a good chunk of my enjoyment of the novel for me. I would give it credit for bringing back the Jedi and Sith Codes from the old EU, though. It is another current canon SW novel I would suggest borrowing from the library first and then decide for yourself whether or not it's worth your money and once again, I don't recommend paying full price for it. However, the book is good enough to be recommended for any and all Chirrut Imwe and/or Baze Malbus fans. Next, it's back to Chuck Wendig's very crappy writing style (and crappy writing overall) with Aftermath: Life Debt.
