Lost Stars by Claudia GrayMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Claudia Gray, I think, does the best Star Wars books of the sequel-trilogy era EU, and while this one might not be as good as her Leia-centric novels, it's still a most unique piece of stellar fantasy. Maybe it's a little too long for its own good, but then again that kinda comes with the territory when we get this little study of two characters, star-crossed lovers crossing back and forth with each other across both sides of the war against the Empire over the course of the original trilogy and beyond. Here, more than ever, Gray shows us the emotional impact of much of the death and destruction wreaked during those movies, tearing so many friendships and even relationships apart. Lost Stars is a tragic read, but it's a beautiful one too, a testament to the mysteries of fate as only Star Wars can give us.
