I know that these books are meant for a younger demographic, but this book is by far the most childish and uninteresting out of the three. "Oh wow Lorica just happened to find a lightsaber" and I really couldn't care less for the Jerjerrod sub-plot.
Still the best Star Wars books series going for my money.
A fun follow-up, with clearly more to come
2 1/2, but more interesting, but still bored and confused who is who at times.
This book was better than the first one but it still felt a bit dull. It felt like this series should have been 1 book instead of multiple. It was a fun read but nothing more.
Wow - this gets better and better. Love it.
I should just copy/paste my review from book one here. It is about the same level, maybe slightly better.Oddly, though, the story seems quite stretched out for what little actually happens.And I do wish we could have seen more of that Hutt...
3.5 stars rounded to 4 because it was an unexpectedly good surprise, this is a significant improvement from the previous installment of Join the Resistance.I feel happy imagining that the Acker/Blacker team read the reviews and critics for that first book and decided to take them into account when writing its continuation. Whether that was the case or not, the final outcome was a really enjoyable work.Both books are classified for young readers. The difference is that the first book was seemingl...
Book 1 of Join the Resistance was amazing. Book 2 seems to be mostly filler, setting up a third book in the series. It feels like the whole thing could have been done in the first 50-75 pages of a second book rather than drawing it out like was done here. It did introduce a couple new characters that seem to be moving forward into the third book, but they were not very well developed. I still give this book 3 stars because of how strong the first book in the series was, and the possibilities tha...
Way too long. Repetitive plot. But worst of all: a super-long expositional passage about how these characters were supposedly present for an event in the Poe Dameron comic series, effectively ruined it in the most ridiculous way ever, and ALSO, a character was supposedly present who had already died by the time said event took place. No. Just no.
its over 300 pgs.

This is the second book of a series and is a direct continuation of the first book. At the end of the first book our gang was captured by the First Order. This book tells about their time in imprisonment and how they plan to escape.Two stars might be a little generous but it didn't deserve one star like the first book. This one at least had a cohesive story unlike the first offering. This series is meant for young children. I believe one's enjoyment depends how you view these novels. Children wi...
FunFor the intended age group, I'm sure this novel is a lot of fun. I also enjoyed it; however, the main character Mattis is not enjoyable at to me in the least bit. I would much prefer in the next book of Lorica became the main character.
Had to return to library. Jacob was over half way through it but the book was not keeping his attention like other books so he may or may not re-check it out again in the future..krb 3/9/18
It took me some time to add it to my list. It is better than the first but not so much. There is a attempt for plot. Lore consistency is non existent, time line is joke, dead characters suddenly pops here and there.
Need the next book in the series NOW!!!
These junior books are fun as quick reads. This one answers the gakaxy spanning question, do our characters fart?
From the get-go, I knew I would be drawn into reading this novel due to the cliffhanger of Join the Resistance. There was a lot to love about this book; it was fast-paced, we got to know the characters, and there were bold choices in the writing a junior novel. It was a far darker, more gritty book than the last. I still have so many questions, and I’m excited for the next book in the series.
I'm never a big fan of going crazy parts of stories but dearlord these characters are so cute, I love all of them and the book kept up a good pace even though they were locked up most the book.
