Star Wars: Victory’s Price
Star Wars: Victory’s Price | Alexander Freed
5 posts | 4 read
The aces of the New Republic have one final chance to defeat the darkness of Shadow Wing in this thrilling conclusion to the Star Wars: Alphabet Squadron trilogy! In the wake of Yrica Quell's shocking decision-and one of the fiercest battles of their lives-the remnants of Alphabet Squadron seek answers and closure across a galaxy whose old war scars are threatening to reopen. Soran Keize has returned to the tip of Shadow Wing's spear. Operation Cinder, the terrifying protocol of planetary extermination that began in the twilight of the Imperial era, burns throughout the galaxy. Shadow Wing is no longer wounded prey fleeing the hunters of the New Republic. With its leader, its strength has returned, and its Star Destroyers and TIE squadrons lurk in the darkness between stars, carrying out the fallen Emperor's final edict of destruction-as well as another, stranger mission, one Keize has championed not for the dying Empire, but for its loyal soldiers. Alphabet Squadron's ships are as ramshackle and damaged as their spirits, but they've always had one another. Now, as they face the might of Keize's reborn juggernaut, they aren't sure they even have that. How do you catch a shadow? How do you kill it? And when you're finally victorious, who pays the price?

This is only a So-So for me. I actually like the characters, but Reeds way of writing just isn't for me, it seems. Even though there's a lot of typical Star wars action, I never got into the story. Never felt involved. The pace always stays somewhat the same, which made the book sort of a bore to me... There were some scenes I felt a little emotional, but those sadly couldn't save the book for me...

BookwormAHN Oh well, series completed though. And Freed is not my favorite Star Wars author either. 2y
Jari-chan @BookwormAHN Yes, exactly! 💪 Freed has his fans, and I'm glad if they like his books 😊 2y

Listening to this audiobook for the March #starwarsbuddyread and Darth Plageuis by James Luceno as well. Rearranged my bookshelves to put my Star Wars collection in a larger shelf. Happy with the results 😃🚀

This was a good conclusion to not one of my favorite trilogies. The first two were rather lackluster but I did enjoy this one especially the ending. Yrica Quell is back in Shadow Squadron, Wyl is now in charge of Alphabet & the other Squadrons, Chass is rather nuts, Kairos is literally changing & Nath is mostly just worried about Wyl. It all comes to a close at the Battle of Jakku.

March's book for #StarWarsBuddyRead is the third book in the Alphabet Squadron trilogy Victory's Price. My copy came in from the library early so I'm almost through with it. So far it is turning into my favorite in the trilogy.
I hope you all enjoy it and as always if anyone wants to be added or removed just let me know. And may the force be with you.

Jari-chan I've also started with it already. I'm not that much into this series, but I guess it's going to be an ok read. 2y
BookwormAHN @Jari-chan It's not my favorite series either but I am enjoying it more than the other two. 2y

The final entry in the Alphabet Squadron trilogy is crafted in such a way that brings closure to so many characters and adds to a pre-existing character (Hera Syndulla) in ways that felt true to her character.

I know this is the end of these novels, but I‘d love to see more stories revolving around these new characters after Jakku.

This novel is a bit slow at the beginning, but picks up in parts 2 and 3 with a great conclusion in part 4.
