Journey To Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Spark of the Resistance

De: Justina Ireland

Narrado por: Jessica Almasy

When a distress plea goes up from the isolated planet Minfar, Resistance heroes Rey, Poe, and Rose hear the call! Together they will face down a First Order battalion, terrifying flying creatures, and a weapon that could change the course of the war!

Wow this one was hard to listen to.

The narrator was really bad, may have been the editing. It was hard to get through.

Fast Exciting Read

I loved Journey to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: Spark of the Resistance
This was such a fast and engaging read--the chapters are short and quick; read the entire book in under a day. Very informative and enjoyable. I recommend this book to any Star Wars fan!

can't wait for the movie!

This was an exciting read and helps set the tone for the new adventure in Episode IX. The new characters introduced here feel believable and 3-Dimensional. This overall serves as a good appetizer for the final installment in the SW Episodic series.

An empty story with glaring continuity errors

As a "Journey to xxx" title, I was expecting more. The story was super generic and the characters all felt 1 dimensional. The story also had a hard time keeping Rose's established canon right which was a lil frustrating.

Performance wise though, the narrator did awesome. It sounded like she was having fun which really helped her get into character.

Overall, this isn't really a great story. Random adventure that doesn't add much.

Sweet, funny, unexpectedly deep slice-of-life

Frankly I almost didn't get this book. At only 4hrs or so and meant for 8-10 year olds, it seemed an easy pass. But then someone online mentioned that the porgs, ridiculous things though they are, were in the book and named(!!) and I had to get it.

I expected a simple plot, bad bad guys and really good good guys, nothing too complicated or deep, with maybe a few light conversations between Rose, Rey, and Poe. In a sense, that's what the book was. The FO officers and troopers were hopelessly stupid and their commanding officer was a complete idiot, though both things are somewhat plausibly explained in-book. Poe, BB8, Rey, and Rose teased each other and bantered and honestly made me laugh out loud more than once.

But despite it's brevity and target audience, there are a few conversations and passages that put the book squarely in line with traditional Star Wars. It's a light book that deals with heavier topics in a way that's appropriate for all ages, and I appreciate that, despite not being who the book was meant for at all lol.

Ignoring plot and message completely, the dynamics between Rey, Rose, and Poe were really, really entertaining. Rose's never ending optimism, Poe's flyboy charm, and Rey's determination all shine. There are even a few lines/situations that show that the characters haven't forgotten their previous hard-learned lessons, and they all just, just get along so WELL, despite a few believable conflicts. It's great.

This being the first real interaction post-TLJ between these three, and it being as sweet and wholesome as it is, gives me such hopes for EP 9.

The acting for Rose is A+++ perfect, Rey is sometimes oddly perfect and sometimes a bit wobbly, Poe is good all things considered.

TL:DR if you want a short, sweet, and amusing look into the post-TLJ dynamics of some of the main characters, and have an extra credit, I def reccomend this book.
