Review of 'Force Awakens' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I'm so glad I've finally finished this awful book. Terrible characterisation, repetitive and OOC dialogue, and the exciting parts were slow and drab, not at all the excitement the moments warranted.

There are so many superb books in the SW expanded universe (what Disney annihilated and now calls Legends) and this book will not be joining them. Timothy Zahn's THRAWN is out soon though so that should hopefully put me in a better mood.
