** spoiler alert ** After two stories that are fairly forgettable (Finn, Rey) the book really kicks it up a notch when we get to Poe's story. Just so much more action with it feeling like something actually happens! Either that or I'm a sucker for a story with a good old space dog-fight...

Finn: 2.5 Stormtroopers

Rey: 2 Scavengers (view spoiler)

Poe: 4.5 X-Wings

Final overall rating, 3 Resistance Heroes out of 5 ;)

Poe watched his father raise his eyes from the fence and stare up into the dusk sky. The sun had almost slipped behind the gas giant, and in the last moments of daylight everything seemed oddly brighter, more sharply in focus.

“That it was all for nothing,� his father said.�"

That was the plan, but flying in a straight line would let the TIEs cut him to pieces, and that meant he was jinking, dodging, twisting the yacht in ways he was certain its owner would’ve wept to witness."
