Besides punk hardcore, my all time love is Star Wars. Besides movies and tv shows, there is whole world of expanded universe through books that I discovered as I started reading and collecting those books.

I must say that I am more of a fan regarding books and SW timeline that came out before Disney took over SW universum. Those books are now regarded as Star Wars Legends and books that are now out as Disney took over are called New Canon. As movie, books that come out are inferior to old ones. I don´t say that as grizzled fart which only mutters to himself, I am a fan who has also all new movies originals dvds in my collection proudly besides old ones and gave them many chances, but I must say, only Rogue One is in my opinion worth SW greatness of all new movies.

Captain Phasma is one of not enough explored characters of First Order and this book is a novel about her, how she came to be Captain Phasma, from her life as Skyre on nuclear devastated wasteland planet, to meeting General Hux Senior and trying to survive the wasteland to go to space and fulfill her destiny. This book has the same problem as all SW newer books. Parts of it are interesting and make you wanna read more and more and then comes last third which is too confusing, too fast like author wanted to finish it by all means as soon as possible. Characters are too shallow, too little explained and explored. Action scenes are okay, but could have been better and the ending leaves more open questions for sequel and explanations of some missing parts. Unfortunately, this one could have been so much better.
