Summary & Thoughts:
(Spoiler Warning)
Lost Star’s was a good and interesting read. Claudia Gray did a fantastic job writing this new Star Wars tale. For the most part, the book follows two young characters named Thane and Ciena. They grow up together, join the imperial academy, and then live through the 3 original Star Wars films. Lots of the story draws from specific battles and events that happen in the movies, such as the Battle of Hoth.
I was certain that the book would have a sad ending, but I was wrong. I would have liked to see a different ending, but it was still pretty good. It was definitely cool to read about the Battle of Jakku, which is mentioned in the new Star Wars: Battlefront game. The Star Destroyer from the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer is also mentioned it the book, and you get to read about it crashing.
Overall I liked the book, and I think it was well written. It is not a book I would read again, but I would recommend it, and pass it on to a friend.
