Review: Doctor Aphra Vol. 6

Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, Vol. 6: Unspeakable Rebel SuperweaponStar Wars: Doctor Aphra, Vol. 6: Unspeakable Rebel Superweapon by Simon Spurrier
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

To play or be played?

In the sixth Doctor Aphra book, Chelli does what she does best and plays those who are out to play her. Si Spurrier delivers another satisfying end to an Aphra arc, as our titular misanthrope gets the best of the Imperial P.R. lady and further cements herself to the Empire by saving Palpy's life. 

Readers are also given more of Aphra's unsurprisingly tragic backstory. 

Looking forward to (one?) more Aphra book with Vader back in the picture. And it remains to be seen how Aphra will drastically destroy her relationship with Vulaada. 

Much thanks to Gillen and Spurrier for giving me a Star Wars character that I remain hopelessly in love with.

fine-tuning

 Isn't it better if it's all a fluke? I find myself asking this question regularly. I'm fairly confident in where I'm at wit...
