The cover made me think this was a graphic novel - it decidedly isn't. The book is written for a younger audience, but also one that is much more familiar with the world of Star Wars than I am. The prose seems a bit clunky, but that also may be because I kept encountering things I'm not familiar with, since my Star Wars knowledge is relatively limited. Middle grade die-hard Star Wars fans might get a kick out of this one, but I probably won't make a point to pick it up.
