Having recently started a rewatch of Star Wars: Rebels I decided to finally take this book off the shelf. The stories in it do a great job of giving context to some notable Star Wars characters, in particular Grand Moff Tarkin and Admiral Rae Sloane. Overall I enjoyed “Tarkin” more than “A New Dawn” as I think James Luceno is one of the best Star Wars authors, but each story was an enjoyable read.
