lightreadsLeia, Princess of Alderaan
3/5. A Star Wards new canon book about Leia at sixteen, tripping and forcing her way into the rebellion her parents are trying to build.
I've realized that I appreciate that Claudia Gray keeps writing Leia books, but that I don't actually want to read them? Mostly because new canon is not my canon, and I only care about it so much. And this book is indubitably new canon, even though it is set before the original trilogy. You can tell because the metric fuckton of dramatic irony is largely suspended from new canon stuff. (Though points for making Holdo so weird, she gives Luna Lovegood a run for her money). So much dramatic irony. So so much. Leia's family is complete with no siblings, you know, oh and also her home will always be there for her, and and and. So much dramatic irony that it loses all impact, whereas maybe 10% of it could have been sad and whistful, and you know, dramatically ironic.
