Summary:

Now a respected senator, Leia must grapple with the dangers that threaten to cripple the fledgling democracy — from both within and without.

But a new enemy may make this path Leia’s only option. For at the edges of the galaxy, a mysterious threat is growing (  Summary directly from goodreads (x)
My thoughts:
I really really loved this book  so much. I have not read a star wars book in a while and I decided to read this based on the really good reviews. This book defiantly lived up to the hype and reviews. I could not put it down and it was  very well written. I liked how it led into the Force Awakens
Plot:
The plot was well written and fast paced. I did not think it was boring or slow. I loved the plot in this book and how it led in the Force Awakens.
Characters:
Leia is such a good character both in this book and the movies. The author got her right. The other supporting characters were also very well written.
