Good performance, just okay story

Revisado: 02-15-24

I really enjoy E. K. Johnston’s writing on the whole (both within the Star Wars universe and outside of it), but this particular story just didn’t quite grab me. There were a lot of characters to keep track of, and I occasionally had to Google the character list to try to remember who was who and why they were important. It was interesting to get the backstory on Qi’ra’s ascent into the syndicate, but she’s also not a character I feel very attached to, so maybe that’s why I wasn’t in love with the story. It was not bad, just not great, either.

A great exploration of Jyn Erso!

Revisado: 02-10-24

I loved the story and the chance to find out about Jyn’s life before Rogue One. I felt like this filled in so much depth to her character, who I already loved, that we didn’t get in the movie or even the novelization of it. The only thing that bumps the performance down a star is that the narrator, while she does a great job for the vast majority of the book, doesn’t always maintain a consistent accent for Jyn — it gets dropped entirely at times, sometimes even within the course of 30 seconds, or picked up in the middle of the dialogue. It doesn’t detract from the story or the performance as a whole, but it was enough to distract me as I listened.

Loved it

Not my favorite Holmes story overall, but a really nice performance by Ian McKellan. I don't regret purchasing this one at all!

Wonderful story and performance

A wonderfully classic story, and Rachel McAdams does a fantastic job reading this! I am so glad I bought this version. Cannot recommend it enough.
