Zorii bliss
There was potential to make her a strong character in Star Wars, and I don’t think that happened. Like with Poe, the content with her was quality, I just wish there was more to it. She is a second main character to Poe and I wish more of the book was devoted to giving her character depth.
We do learn more about her, but a lot of it is through Poe’s perspective. I also think it is important to talk about Zorii. I still wish we got more details on Poe, but this moment was powerful and I’m glad it was included. It was essentially at the climax of the book and you’ll understand what I’m talking about if you read it. However, there was a significant character-defining moment for Poe that helps out the score for this section.
I do wish we got more details about him than with this period in his life and as I said before, a broader scope of his life would have allowed us to get a better overall understanding of his character. We get to learn a little bit about Poe’s life before he left home and learn the most about him as a spice runner. What Freed added for these characters was good. Mostly for Poe, but also for other characters like Zorii.

So without further ado, let’s get into the details.īecause this book’s purpose was to essentially provide a background for Poe’s character, I expected it to be full of character development. It was an overall exciting story that was easy to read. However, it doesn’t mean that I didn’t enjoy the read. This will be a common theme moving forward in this review.

She did get more depth in Free Fall, but like with Poe, I wish we got more. She truly has the potential to be one of the better strong, female characters in Star Wars. She didn’t have a ton of time in The Rise of Skywalker, but I loved what we got of her. I was really excited to learn more about Zorii Bliss. However, his character wasn’t the main reason why I was interested in reading this book. With a larger scope, we would have learned more about Poe. I would have liked to see more than just his life with the Spice Runners of Kijimi. However, I think that the book should have given Poe’s character more depth. Free Fall certainly helps fill in some of the holes in his character arc, specifically for new plot points added to his character in The Rise of Skywalker. I didn’t dislike him, but his arc was all over the place and it was hard to keep track of. Personally, I thought that Poe was one of the less exciting main characters in the sequel trilogy.
