The Rise of Skywalker: Expanded Edition (Star Wars)

“Rey Skywalker.”
I don’t care what others say, she IS a Skywalker. She found the family she’s been looking for in Skywalkers. Skywalkers has always been by her side. 
Saying goodbye to Skywalker Saga for the second time was so hard. Letting go of your childhood heroes, stories, is never easy. I wish they were real so I could give them the biggest thank you hug.
I cried uncontrollably during the movie and I didn’t surprise myself and cried uncontrollably during the novel. It’s so hard to let go.

The novelization really fixed a lot of what I hated and cringed at in the movie. It's still imperfect and has issues but this was well-written and fleshed so much out.

This book started so well. The narrative was gripping, and I found myself trying to work out what would happen but couldn't. It was great to get a story of Han set before the 'Solo' film. I liked getting to know Qi'ra more, and these books really focused on her. Her character development and explanation really fitted her role in the Solo film. In the film, I didn't really connect with Qi'ra, but this story made me care about her. I feel like I learnt a lot more about Rodians and found myself getting super attached to Tsuulo. Altogether, I really enjoyed the book. Unlike other YA fiction, this book didn't centre on romance but rather a friendship and what it meant for the group to work together.

It was a decent novelisation but just didn't capture the characters for me personally.
