   Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.  The_Literary_Jedi | Mar 21, 2022 |  What a culmination of this trilogy—I kept avoiding this book as I was reading it because it was so tense and I didn’t want to see my good friends the Alphabet Squadron get hurt or make Bad Choices. But it was so good, even if it was so tense I wanted to throw the book across the room. But god, Freed really dives into the most interesting—and tense, fraught!—questions about a post-Empire world and what it means in material terms to try to build a new political structure on the other side of that. It also asked some really interesting questions about how we might go about repairing from massive harm (though I don’t know that it answered them in hugely satisfactory ways—this book greatest weakness in my opinion is the epilogue, because it left some things feeling too neat after three whole books of deep messiness, but it might serve more of a “and this is the End of the Trilogy” mode, instead of leaving things open.) Especially watching Quell develop her own answers to the problem that Keize seems repeatedly stuck on was very powerful, as what seemed to be a fairly reasonable stance instead became one that looked more and more deranged over time, which I think is a really difficult needle to thread narratively. Overall, I think this was just a great end to a powerful trilogy, and they might be my favorite books of new canon. (  ) aijmiller | Sep 13, 2021 | ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

"The aces of the New Republic have one final chance to defeat the darkness of Shadow Wing in this thrilling conclusion to the Star Wars: Alphabet Squadron trilogy! In the wake of Yrica Quell's shocking decision--and one of the fiercest battles of their lives--the remnants of Alphabet Squadron seek answers and closure across a galaxy whose old war scars are threatening to reopen. Soran Keize has returned to the tip of Shadow Wing's spear. Operation Cinder, the terrifying protocol of planetary extermination which began in the twilight of the Imperial era, burns throughout the galaxy. Shadow Wing is no longer wounded prey fleeing the hunters of the New Republic. With its leader, its strength has returned, and its Star Destroyers and TIE squadrons lurk in the darkness between stars, carrying out the fallen Emperor's final edict of destruction--as well as another, stranger mission, one Keize has championed not for the dying Empire, but for its loyal soldiers. Alphabet Squadron's ships are as ramshackle and damaged as their spirits, but they've always had each other. Now, as they face the might of Keize's reborn juggernaut, they aren't even sure they have that. How do you catch a shadow? How do you kill it? And when you're finally victorious, who pays the price?"-- No library descriptions found. |

This is book 3 in the new Alphabet Squadron trilogy. While you don't necessarily have to have read the others to get this one, it does help. I did not. Thoroughly enjoyed this book. There is plenty of action and resolution to several plot lines [I'm assuming since I didn't read the first two] that have carried throughout.
The ending did fall a tiny bit flat but not so much that I rated it down - I owed it to the fact that, again, I haven't read the first two books so I wasn't as invested in the characters. There are several 'wow' moments in the action which is phenomenal all around. The dog fight scenes are great and the sound added to the momentum. The narrator was wonderful.
High recommend this one for Star Wars fans and for those who are looking for a new action series.
