About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

After their narrow victory over Shadow Wing, Alphabet Squadron is on the attack, hunting their adversaries within the Imperial Remnant. Shadow Wing is desperate for direction and leadership—and they find both in the iron will of Major Keize, their former commander and Yrica Quell’s one-time mentor. As battle lines blur, Alphabet Squadron finds itself not only fighting their resurgent foes, but their leader’s own deadly shadow.

I loved it. Some parts I felt were weaker, some subplots I didn't like all that much but there was nothing I disliked. The tie in with the wider Star Wars universe and with Squadrons the upcoming game, is worth it alone but the series itself has quickly become one of my favourite Star Wars stories.

The new VA took some getting used to, I'd come to just equate Saskia Maarveld with the voice of Yrica Quell, so having her speak in a much more American voice threw me until I got used to it, but that is on me. Carol Monda is an excellent choice and she brings a life to characters that I never thought possible.

I really struggled with a few of the characters portrail by monda it seemed as if she assumed it was the first book in the series and could do as she pleased making certain characters sound constantly weak and other in physical pain I feel very poor research was done before the recording...

Monda let the characters down

Having read the first book I couldn't wait to listen to this one. I preferred the last voice actor to this one but she does a good job none the less, her voice just didn't suite the characters like the last lady did.

The story picks up at s good point in Alphabets relationship and ends on a fantastic cliffhanger. This series is a must read for fans of star wars in my opinion. it's great!

Looking forward to the final book now!

Another brilliant Alphabet novel.

Unfortunately like a lot of the new canon novels, everything feels so inconsequential and limited.

The story is very forgettable and after two books I’m still not really connecting with any of the characters apart from Hera, but this is because of Rebels.

I did like how dramatisation had non Star Wars music as well as the traditional tracks. This is the first time I’ve heard non Star Wars music in an Audible drama and it’s very welcome. Hopefully we’ll start to hear some of the sequel soundtracks in these books soon.

A forgettable story

From the first book, where the formation of Alphabet Squadron was formed and after the events of Pandem Nigh (excuse the incorrect spelling) this book takes a new turn by shaking up the roster somewhat.

Without spoilers, the book was excellent, well written and the voice acting was superb, this book (no discredit to the narrator) but the immersion was lost slightly because all the voices sounded the same...

Aiden and ITO were not what I was expecting and honestly wasn't as good voice wise as the last book. But if you can stand the chance in voice narration the book is excellent.

Shadow Fall, a good next step.
