Book #72: Star Wars Cobalt Squadron, by Elizabeth Wein

A tie-in to The Last Jedi, Cobalt Squadron ends, like, ten minutes before the movie starts and stars Rose and Paige Tico and my emotions, my emotions.

Basically it's a character piece with some background ship talk, set up in a way I really liked. Rose and Paige (and their pilot, other gunner, and bombardier), are doing reconnaissance on a planet they think the First Order is pillaging (before TFA, so they have to be secretive about it), and then they try to supply the resistance force on that planet.

I love Rose and Paige so much, and this is Rose's "little push out the door" story, and it was really, really good. I would say you could read it either before or after the movie, but definitely read it.
