Discover Captain Phasma's mysterious history in this "Journey to Star Wars: The Last Jedi" novel.

One of the most cunning and merciless officers of the First Order, Captain Phasma commands the favor of her superiors, the respect of her peers, and the terror of her enemies. But for all her renown, Phasma remains as virtually unknown as the impassive expression on her gleaming chrome helmet. Now, an adversary is bent on unearthing her mysterious origins - and exposing a secret she guards as zealously and ruthlessly as she serves her masters.

Deep inside the Battlecruiser Absolution, a captured Resistance spy endures brutal interrogation at the hands of a crimson-armored stormtrooper - Cardinal. But the information he desires has nothing to do with the Resistance or its covert operations against the First Order.

What the mysterious stormtrooper wants is Phasma's past - and with it whatever long-buried scandal, treachery, or private demons he can wield against the hated rival who threatens his own power and privilege in the ranks of the First Order. His prisoner has what Cardinal so desperately seeks, but she won't surrender it easily. As she wages a painstaking war of wills with her captor, bargaining for her life in exchange for every precious revelation, the spellbinding chronicle of the inscrutable Phasma unfolds. But this knowledge may prove more than just dangerous once Cardinal possesses it - and once his adversary unleashes the full measure of her fury.

This reminded me of Tarkin’s back story. Phasma was the Boba Fett of the sequels with not much screen time but grabbed everyone’s attention. This lacks Jedi but isn’t lacking a great origin story. Would love more Phasma stories if possible.

An impressive story that is worth the read

When I first bought this STAR WARS: PHASMA, I placed it at the bottom of my MUST READ list since some Star Wars novels have been hit or miss. After finally getting around to this book, I felt like I should have read this one first. Phasma is a rich compelling story about one of the most mysterious character from the recent Star Wars films in a way that felt I haven’t seen in other Star Wars novels.

While Phasma doesn’t get a lot of screen time in the Star Wars movies, this book does Phasma’s character a lot of justice in explaining who she is, why she appears different from other imperial Storm Troopers, her motives with the First Order, and just how ruthlessly intelligent she can be.

Phasma’s plot shifts back and forth between a First Order officer interrogating a capture Resistance soldier in order to find a way to assasinate Phasma and the origin story of Phasma on her home world. I enjoyed the story of Captain Phasma because this book also explored but also explored her home planet which appears to have a Mad Max feel. Learning about the hostile inhabitants, wildlife, and how the world came to be helps to show justify why Phasma has to be a ruthless warrior.

Some people may not like how the story jumps back and forth from Phasma’s story to two character in an interrogation room. There are moments where I was really into Phasma’s journey only to be annoyed with the interrogation room conversation slowing down the pace. Toward the end, the two separate stories come together to resolve the plot in a way that demonstrates how strong, intelligent, and ruthless Captain Phasma is in the Star Wars universe.

Phasma also helps the reader to get a deeper understanding of The First Order, the philosophy of this antagonistic army, and their storm trooper army. I particularly enjoyed reading about the two storm troopers who accompanied Phasma in her story since it helps me see how these solders view their role in the First Order and how they affect Phasma’s stance in the galaxy. Reading this book helped me see the movies in a new perspective as to why these soldiers are taking part in threatening army that plans on conquering the galaxy.

I felt that the book wraps up rather quickly in the end and ties up a lot of loose ends so unexpectedly that it makes me want more toward the end. I like rearming how Phasma helps to show why Captain Phasma gets to keep her name and not replace it with a random number set and I enjoyed knowing why her armor is so different from Storm Troopers but it comes so sudden and I felt like I would have liked another book to expand her story. I don’t know if Captain Phasma’s role is being saved for something big in the Star Wars films, but I am hoping to get more out of this character since this book got me to appreciate the character in a way the films haven’t.

If you can get passed the two different plots going on and the swift conclusion, Phasma is still a fascinating read that helps share a great deal of the villainous soldier and the Lore of Star Wars. The book can move quickly if you let yourself get carried away in the plot and leave you with a bigger understanding about How much of a threat Phasma can play in the Star Wars universe. I recommend reading this book to Star Wars fans and those who enjoy a compelling story.

Didn't expect such a sad conclusion

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2024

The story portraits Phasma as a selfish monster from the first pages to the conclusion of the book. Other characters as Siv, Vi and Cardinal serve as contrast to show there's still goodness in the darkest corners of the galaxy or aboard the most powerful capital ships. The ending might not the happiest one, but it shines with hope for all of those who decided to make a difference and defy evil. An opportunity you shouldn't miss.

A Dark Character Study

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2017

When the seemingly invincible loyalist Captain Phasma betrayed the First Order with minimal protest at the end of The Force Awakens, many fans were baffled. This book should resolve their confusion by showing the villain's true colours.

Delilah Dawson takes readers from Phasma's origin as a young tribal warrior surviving in the undeveloped wilds of an abandoned planet to the cunning tactician among the most feared and respected leaders of the First Order.

While I did enjoy this tale tremendously, I always find the present tense voice to be off-putting in stories meant to take place "a long time ago". Also, the decision to recount much of Phasma's past in an extremely detailed secondhand flashback story within the story stretches credibility and creates an awkward narrative perspective at times. This story also takes place entirely before The Force Awakens and so the movie for which it is purportedly a "journey to" seems inaccurately billed.

That said, the action on Phasma's home planet of Parnossos introduces us to a new, unique, and interesting environment we've not seen before in Star Wars. The Resistance spy Vi and stormtrooper trainer Cardinal are interesting characters who show off a bit more of the inner workings of their respective factions. We learn a lot more about Brendol Hux and his relationship with son Armitage. The final act of the book where the conflict reaches its climax is a blast, though the plot is left unresolved. Given everything else that needs to go on in The Last Jedi, I doubt this is where the story will continue. I'm not a comic book fan, but it looks like the recent Phasma series might be the conclusion that I am missing.

No solo es muy fácil de leer incluso en inglés, sino que permite conocer la historia de phasma antes de integrarse a la primera orden y definitivamente le da más valor a un personaje que fue tan poco aprovechado en the force awakens.
