This is the only Star Wars novel I’ve read, so I am not sure how it compares. That being said; Rogue One was my favorite Star Wars movie, and I think this book truly did it justice.

The insight into the characters minds were so brilliant and moving. This book wrecked me emotionally, even more so than the movie—even seemingly insignificant or side characters in the movie were given just a bit more humanity which made it all the more impactful.
