Veteran Star Wars comic book author Alexander Freed made his debut to the world of Star Wars novels (and to novels in general), with 2015's Battlefront: Twilight Company. That book was a powerful look at the foot soldiers of the Rebellion, and displayed the beginning of a promising career for Freed, though it does lag at times.

Admittedly, I've never been overly fond of novelizations, only taking brief peeks into the world through the junior novelizations I read as child. Any proper novelizations I've read this far have either concluded with a failure to finish the book, or with a disappointed feeling upon its close.

The officially licensed, and completely canon, novelizations of the tremendous film "ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY" is not only a brilliant piece of writing in it's own right, but it also quells two major problems I've been dealing with in the world of books. My fear of beginner's luck on Freed's part was assuaged through a work equally powerful, and more intelligently written than his last.

More than that however, Freed's retelling redeems my views on adaptations from the screen to the page. In a single movement, Freed translates the film to the page in a way that not only provides insight into the characters, but also expands upon the film, adding to the quality of awe presented in it's vastness.

Freed's future as a Star Wars author is indeed promising, and I look forward to his future work, as well as recommend this such example to Star Wars fans.
