We’re continuing our read of AFTERMATH: LIFE DEBT by Chuck Wendig this week! Join us as we discuss the difficulties of being a powerful Imperial woman, the strengths and weaknesses of the Empire and the New Republic, and Leia’s transformation from idealist to jaded politician.

This podcast is NOT spoiler-free and covers chapters 9-20. It also mentions plot points from BLOODLINE by Claudia Gray (which we discussed in our episodes 4-8).

Book Wars Pod explores the Star Wars universe through the franchise’s non-screen media: the canon novels, comics, and video games.
