Book Review: ‘Rebel Rising’ by Beth Revis
May 30, 2017 at 12:02 am | Posted in Books, Reviews, Star Wars, Star Wars Books | Leave a commentTags: beth revis, rebel rising, rogue one
Rebel Rising by Beth Revis is the best Rogue One tie-in book I’ve read so far. This book covers Jyn’s life from the age of eight to her early twenties, following her training under Saw to her eventually rescue by the Rebellion from Wobani labor camp. It answers many of the questions fans have about her character, as well illuminating more on Saw and her rebel activities. Click here to read our full review.
