Star Wars: The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown

By: Tessa Gratton

Narrated by: Kristen DiMercurio

An exciting adventure starring fan-favorite Jedi Padawans Jecki and Yord from the Disney+ live-action series, Star Wars: The Acolyte.

While their Jedi Masters clean up a political mess left behind by one of their own, Jedi Padawan Jecki and her least favorite fellow Padawan Yord are drawn into a planet-wide coming-of-age ritual as featured guests. But when things unexpectedly turn deadly, Jecki and Yord will have to use all of their abilities and work together to keep each other—and their new friends—safe.

This young adult novel is Star Wars meets The Hunger Games and offers fans of The Acolyte a chance to spend more time with two of their favorite characters from the show.

Critic reviews

"In the midst of the suspenseful, high-action competition, the characters grapple with questions of identity, relationships, belonging, and ambition. A tense and absorbing adventure." —Kirkus Reviews

"A perfect jumping-in point to the Star Wars canon, especially for ­reluctant readers." —School Library Journal

Better than anticipated…

Enjoyed getting to know Jekki and Jord on a deeper level. Makes me even more angry that Qimir shanked her with his mini saber.

fantastic

I love this book. it's very well done. the story line continues on and on in a great way. This, I hope will be just the first in a long line of great stories.

Tremendous voice acting

As a fan of the acolyte series, I enjoy any new stories with those characters, but the 2 books that have come out have been amazing returns to that time and people I’ve grown to love. And as the title suggests, the phenomenal voice acting for each character helped create my Immersive experience while listening to this story.

Hunger Games meets Star Wars

I'm not sure really what the point of this book was it really went nowhere

Not a bad book not a good book

There are some good parts in this book overall, it’s not bad. The story just lacked quite a bit. It was kind of a mix of the hunger games with a really shitty Star Wars story.
