Star Wars: Most Wanted

Most Wanted by Rae Carson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thank you Rae Carson for getting Han Solo spot on. After reading Last Shot I was a little worried about reading another Han Solo book. I think it makes a big difference when a book is written by a fan.

I enjoyed this book right from the beginning, Rae I think managed to capture all the aspects of Han’s personality. He is cocky, but loyal and compassionate. A “scoundrel” but with great leadership qualities. Han is famous for his piloting skills, we see his natural aptitude for it in this book, but others skill Han has but are a bit overlooked on the movies and books is his ability to think quickly (improving), his understanding of languages and he is a pretty handy mechanic as well.

The side characters are done really well too. I think Qi’ra was also introduced very well. I liked the fast paced setting of the book. I also like how Han and Qi’ra’s relationship changes and their characters develop through the book.

An excellent introduction to a very (possible 18 year old) young Han Solo definitely showing the traits of the legendary character he is to grow into.
