Star Wars Leia, Princess of Alderaan
Star Wars Leia, Princess of Alderaan | Claudia Gray
138 posts | 91 read | 4 reading | 65 to read
Explore the beginning of Leia's participation in the Rebellion and the origin of her friendship with Amilyn Holdo from The Last Jedi! Sixteen-year-old Princess Leia Organa faces the most challenging task of her life so far: proving herself in the areas of body, mind, and heart to be formally named heir to the throne of Alderaan. She's taking rigorous survival courses, practicing politics, and spearheading relief missions to worlds under Imperial control. But Leia has worries beyond her claim to the crown. Her parents, Breha and Bail, aren't acting like themselves lately; they are distant and preoccupied, seemingly more concerned with throwing dinner parties for their allies in the Senate than they are with their own daughter. Determined to uncover her parents' secrets, Leia starts down an increasingly dangerous path that puts her right under the watchful eye of the Empire. And when Leia discovers what her parents and their allies are planning behind closed doors, she finds herself facing what seems like an impossible choice: dedicate herself to the people of Alderaan (including the man she loves) or to the galaxy at large, which is in desperate need of a rebel hero...

I loved this book. 16 year old Leia formally demands (as is tradition) to become the next queen of Alderaan. She has to prove herself in mind, body and spirit, along the way she meets Amilyn Holdo and Kier Domadi her first love. Meanwhile her parents along with Mon Mothma are beginning the Rebellion.

It took me a bit to get into it but it was a good book about how Leia joined the rebellion and what shaped her as a princess. I loved Bail and Breha and we meet Holdo, which makes me even more sad about TLJ. If you don‘t know where to begin in this canon, this is a good starting point.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa It was a great YA Leia growing up book, I enjoyed it too. 3y

This backstory is not only about Leia but also about a budding rebellion. A trip to the planet Crait and Naboo, a little R2D2, a look at how her friendship with Amilyn Holdo came about, and a little romance round this story out quite well. There is a few other tidbits strewn about that makes this an interesting addition to the Star Wars Disney Canon.

Happy Friday! Sending {hugs} and positive vibes out to anyone who needs them today. 💚

julesG Wow, Japanese is cool. Is it difficult to learn? 5y
wanderinglynn @julesG I think it‘s hard because it‘s a completely different alphabet system, unlike going from English to French or even English to German where we share a common alphabet. In fact, the Japanese language relies on 3 different alphabets—hiragana, katakana and kanji. And it‘s really not an “alphabet” like the English alphabet, it‘s more a writing system. So for my poor brain, it‘s been a mega challenge. 5y

First book of 2020! And what a story it is! I didn‘t want it to end.

The author did a fantastic job of capturing 16 year-old Leia and how a teen would act, think, and feel. This story perfectly sets up the background to how Leia ultimately becomes the General of the rebel forces.

Had an event with Claudia Gray tonight and it was so fun! She's fantastic and spoke about going from writing fanfic to original novels to Star Wars tie ins. Bloodline is my fave but I really enjoyed this one as well. Loved Holdo and loved seeing Leia stumble (and recover) in her journey to be a leader in the rebellion.

I really enjoyed this one, although I'm a huge Star Wars fan and Leia has been an idol since I was little, so a bit of bias is at work here.

There are elements of YA because of Leia's age when the story takes place, but it's well done.

Solid entry in the franchise, and a fun read, but this one just didn‘t engage me as much as Bloodline or Lost Stars. I‘m a thoroughly 80s kid, and I had trouble fitting the Leia in this book with the Leia I grew up with. I appreciated the portrayal of her prior interactions with Tarkin, and in the legislature.

#StarWarsBuddyRead
@callielafleur @alicia @bookandcat @DivaDiane @ElyssaReads @NovelGirl82 @wtimblin @trioxin_sematary @Shadowfat

CSeydel The portrayal of Holdo as a flaky, Luna-Lovegood-esque character utterly confused me. And I had mixed feelings about the Keir Domati storyline. I did enjoy seeing Leia‘s parents‘ role in the political landscape of that time, and her relationship with Mon Mothma. (edited) 6y
callielafleur I really loved this, and I could see how it was written for a younger audience. I thought that the portrayal of Holdo was interesting, given how little of her we got personality-wise in Last Jedi, other than her purple hair. She was a blank canvas that Claudia Grey could really fill in. 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @CSeydel I liked it, in the film Holdo always seems a bit ethereal and almost like she‘s not paying attention, at least until she essentially smacks Poe up alongside the head....this backstory felt right to me, and like she could fly under the radar for a long time before people realize what she‘s capable of. And yes, I loved seeing Leila‘s adoptive parents and their relationship. 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @callielafleur I liked it, it felt like it all fit for me. And I liked that we got to see the younger and still learning her power and skills Leia. For me it worked much better than the YA Wonder Women that was out last year, you could see the still developing, but the peak at what was to come. (edited) 6y

I love Leia, so it‘s probably not a surprise I loved this tale of a young uncertain teen Leia trying to navigate her way through an complicated galaxy. I love seeing our heroes when they were just learning to be the people they would become, and not yet so sure of themselves, this one did all of that and still managed to tie itself into Gray‘s other novel Bloodline, and the latest film with Leia and Holdo‘s early friendship.

Claudia Gray‘s Star Wars novels are excellent, I think because they would be excellent even outside of that universe but she weaves them into a Galaxy Far Far Away perfectly.

4/5

This is such a fun book. It's much lighter than Bloodlines, and really gets into how Leia becomes the woman we see in the movies.

I was really surprised by how well it ties all the movies together. There are references to the original trilogy, the prequel trilogy, Rogue One, and The Last Jedi that really help tie things together.

This is a super fun book for anyone who loves Princess Leia!

This is such a fun book about Leia undergoing the trials necessary to be officially declared heir of the Alderaanian throne and discovering her parents involvement in the rebellion. Great character development of Leia & her parents (which I really enjoyed seeing), & so many connections to the original trilogy, prequel trilogy, sequel trilogy, & Rogue One. Definitely recommend for Star Wars fans, esp. if you love Leia & want more of her backstory.

callielafleur Claudia Grey is so good at writing about Leia. She really gets the character. 6y

I'm was really unsure about this book, Claudia Gray is amazing and proved me wrong. This is about a young and naive Leia and it's truly a coming of age story for her and the rebellion.

The “Journey to” books are so well done. I especially loved this look into teenage Leia and the Easter eggs hidden for fans of Star Wars. The audio production was excellent as well- sound effects and a soundtrack enhance the audio booking experience.

Finally finished this yesterday morning,it took a little while to get going but once it did it had me hooked.This is set between Ep III Revenge Of The Sith & Ep IV A New Hope,16yr old Leia is undertaking the testing before being officially inducted as the Heir to the throne when she falls in love with a shy boy in her class. But after uncovering her parents secret rebel leanings, tragedy rocks her world & she must choose the which path to take.
