Star Wars Battlefront: Twilight Company by Alexander FreedMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The story line is very good. You get a good feel for the weary soldiers fighting for freedom. You also get a better feel for the oppression of the Empire's system of domination.
The reader is given a timeline so you know where you are in this convoluted space opera. That's a very good thing.
While the story is good, the story telling is not top-notch. It seems rather more like a ramble than an action packed adventure. In other words, it is more a series of events rather than a story. While that can work for an experienced writer, Freed doesn't seem to be able to pull it off well.
Character development is choppy, and there are way too many points of view. Sometimes you have to read more than half a page to tell who's point of view you are reading. I hate that, therefore the 3-star review.
Advance copy from Netgalley...
