Most Wanted is a nice companion piece to Solo: A Star Wars Story. The plot takes place some time before the movie, with Han and Qi’ra both members of the White Worm gang and not being very fond of each other. Lady Proxima, the gang’s leader, assigns them each a job of great job. Their respective missions both go wrong and they find themselves on the run together with little in the way of friends or resources. The plot is fairly standard and the ending is a bit stunted by having to come to an ending that fits with the movie. Still, the story is well-told, the pacing is solid and it does provide a bit more insight to what drives the characters, especially Qi’ra. Not a must-read book, but fans of Star Wars and those wanting a bit more background into the story behind Solo: A Star Wars Story will enjoy it.
[If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try Solo: A Star Wars Story, by Mur Lafferty, Last Shot, by Daniel Jose Older, Honor Among Thieves, by James S.A. Corey or Star Wars: Scoundrels, by Timothy Zahn]
