Really, really enjoying Edge of the Abyss by @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social. I'm halfway through and Mothma's family story hits HARD. Really fits well into Andor's tone and world. #StarWars

Relistening to Black Sun by @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social and it is every bit as amazing as I remember it being the first time.

This story blows me away, and the narration is perfection.

Just got to the end of Chapter 20, and once again stopped what I was doing to just listen in rapt attention.

This is great. I try to teach this idea in a class to varying success. It is so important but often hard for new writers to grasp (and all of us to remember.) Get the behavior right and the rest will follow.

“Tony [Gilroy] finally turned to me, and he said, ‘Hey, you just got to stop pitching plot. Plot is bullshit. Plot is what happens when you get the behavior right. Pitch me a line of dialogue, pitch me atmosphere, pitch me something visual. Stop pitching stuff that happens.’” 1/2

Set over 10 years after The Mask of Fear, Edge of the Abyss is a political thriller & almost serves as an Andor prequel. Its gritty, dark, relevant & character arcs excel.

Sadly don't have my review ready for @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social's upcoming #StarWars book, BUT happy to say it whips a lot of ass. It's markedly different from the previous novel (think follow-up rather than "sequel"), but continues those threads in engaging ways. Super fast read too.

Star Wars: EDGE OF THE ABYSS by @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social is almost here! Check out my review!!

With EDGE OF THE ABYSS, Rebecca has crafted a story enveloped in the darkness of the Empire, but at it’s core is also a story of duty, truth, and most of all love. (1/?)
"The man's an ox! Slow! And stupid!" exclaimed Saw Guerrera about Anto Kreegyr in ANDOR Season 1. This is one of the great things about Star Wars; little lines of dialogue that hint and at a larger world of people and events that could potentially be explored in the future. With EDGE OF THE ABYSS (the second book of the Reign Of The Empire trilogy) Rebecca Roanhorse fulfills that promise (and then some). As a big fan of Alexander Freed’s The Mask Of Fear (and his writing in general), I had some concerns about tonal consistency with this book being written by a different author. but Rebecca Roanhorse has skillfully continued the story and any tonal worries are laid to rest. While reading this book I could quite clearly hear Saw Gerrera’s, Mon Mothma’s, and Bail Organa’s voices as I imagined an almost lost-arc from Andor. Structurally, this is a reason why EDGE OF THE ABYSS succeeds, it functions like a self contained arc, as opposed to a direct continuation to The Mask Of Fear. It tells it’s own story without having to maintain a strict continuity, much like an arc in The Clone Wars or arcs in Andor Season 2. If The Mask Of Fear is a Mon Mothma-adjacent story, EDGE OF THE ABYSS is a Saw Gerrera-adjacent narrative. We follow multiple parallel stories: those of Karama, an old agent of Saw’s, Chemish, an Imperial intelligence operative, and Anto Kryger, a man who seeks a way to meaningfully fight the Empire. Much like Andor, EDGE OF THE ABYSS (and The Mask Of Fear before it) leans heavily into the spy/political thriller side of Star Wars. As such, all the characters and plot lines tangle and weave into each other as character motivations are unraveled. The book orbits around the previously mentioned characters alongside a slew of returning and familiar faces: Perrin, Leida, Kleya, Luthen, and Leia. Rebecca masterfully brings all these characters to life in a way that feels authentic to all their characterizations. She develops pairings among some of them, which makes for wonderful interactions that both anchor and deepen their portrayals. Some of these characters' introductions and meetings were an absolute joy to read. Another return from Andor is Ghorman. A pivotal planet that is a character unto itself, the setting and plot in Ghorman is presented from a different perspective than what we had seen in the series, but helps ground that narrative and increases the pressure building to the tragedy of it all since we know how everything culminates. Rebecca has crafted a compelling story and a great follow-up in this Reign Of The Empire trilogy, one which explored not just the darkness of the Imperial era and a time without the Jedi, but which also explores the insidious nature of the Empire and how it’s tendrils slip into day-to-day life to corrupt not just the obvious parts of society, but also the most vulnerable. With EDGE OF THE ABYSS, Rebecca Roanhorse has crafted a story enveloped in the darkness of the Empire, but at it’s core is also a story of duty, truth, and most of all love. Tony Gilroy had stated how he wanted Andor to focus on forgotten people who make a revolution happen, Alexander Freed continued this ethos with The Mask Of Fear, and Rebecca masterfully follows up these themes in EDGE OF THE ABYSS. She further deepens our understanding of so many characters we have grown to love in an intricately woven fabric that is a satisfying read and ends in a compelling and exciting way, opening the door for Fran Wilde to bring the trilogy to a close with From The Ashes. Rebellions are built on hope.
