This book was such a drag to get through, even though it was only 224 pages long. The story was boring and side-questy. I have very little to say about this book. Though it might not be too fair to criticize as I am in no means the target audience. This is a young reader novel after all. But even still I think kids can deal with a better story than this.

This book said Rose and Rey friendship RIGHTS

A fun and fast-paced story on a magnificent planet. It's nothing new or shocking but fulfils its purpose of hinting at what the Resistance has been up to. I wasn't surprised by any twists and turns but Spark of the Resistance has an appealing antagonist (and one very boring one) and beautiful illustrations by Phil Noto, which makes it perfect for the intended target audience of young readers.For my full review in German, click here: https://jedi-bibliothek.de/2019/11/re...

A solid kid's book. If I wasn't so attached to the characters, I don't think I'd have enjoyed this one as much, and a bit of the dialogue seemed...off, especially for Rey. Still a cute story, and the Rose content watered my crops and cleared my skin. Also the aliens were adorable.

Star Wars: Spark of the Resistance is a children’s novel detailing a side-quest undertaken by some of the key characters from the Disney Star Wars Sequel Trilogy.It is a simplistic story, probably age-appropriate (although I have some caveats about that), about hidden laboratories and secret weapons.Early on in the story there is a trap lifted straight from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: “Only in the leap from the lion's head will he prove his worth.” If only the Falcon’s crew had been carr...

A light adventure tale with Rey, Rose, Poe and BB-8, leading up to the upcoming movie. On a resupply run for the Resistance, the gang intercept a distress call and make their way to Minfar. Unfortunately, the First Order is there, too, looking for a rumoured fearsome weapon and abandoned labs.The gang makes friends with a race of never-before encountered aliens, and, of course, win this small engagement—this isn’t a spoiler as this is a kids’ book and they don’t usually end on a downer. The pace...

We have no idea how this connects, if at all to The Rise of Skywalker, but regardless, it's a nice little story of Rey, Rose and Poe helping these beings on this planet against the First Order from in between episodes 8 and 9. This is the first time with this narrator, and I really liked her!

Part of the “Journey to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” multimedia project that’s currently enveloping the “Star Wars” novel and comic lines, “Spark of the Resistance” is the first canon release of the line, as well as – unless I’ve missed something major – the first major piece of “Star Wars” fiction we’ve gotten that’s set post-“Episode XIII.” For those fans who read that and immediately start to nerd out, let me quickly put a bit of a damper on your excitement: there be no major revelations...

I loved this one so, so, so much. I love Rey. I loved Rose. I loved Finn. I loved Poe. Of course, being a middle-grade book, this story wasn't deeply complex, but it did feel more balanced character-wise than the adult release book from the same time. I just really, really loved it. Rose's heart. Rey's waffling. Poe's .... hair. Including my live plurk below: ɑรรɑรรiɳcɑptɑiɳ ALL MY FAVORITE NEW BABIES MENTIONED IN THE FIRST PAGES.ɑรรɑรรiɳcɑptɑiɳ Oh, no. It's so cute so far.

okay this is an amazing audiobook! I didn't know that star wars books had special audio effects, it felt like i was listening to a movie! it was amazing to see more of Poe, Rose & Rey interacting! I loved the friendship between Rose & Rey... & TROS didn't show it at all. shame on this movie! also, star wars is actually good, it's TROS that's trash :')rating : 4 stars

Not gonna lie, I read this for the cover. Strong Rey on the front paired with Phil Noto's gorgeous artwork was enough for me. It ended up being quite enjoyable and cute, traveling to a new planet with new alien beings, showing the bad guys getting beaten by the good, with the overlying message of hope and a happy ending. Everything Star Wars should be.Just keep in mind that this is written for kids so it's got simple writing and the plot is easy to figure out if you're an adult reading it. But h...

I have next to no interest in the sequel trilogy era, but this book was a fun minor adventure with Rey, Poe, Rose, and BB-8. As usual, each of the main characters is assigned their one defining character trait, because this era of Star Wars doesn’t allow any character more than that. It’s just enough to get them through this short, one-off story, but it wouldn’t be sufficient to carry them much further (for example, through a trilogy of movies).Also as usual, this story introduces a new First Or...

A good medium sized story. This is definitely sumed at younger readers as all the Resistance heroes have their blasters set to stun and are capturing the First Order.This is after the Last Jedi, the Restistance is cut to the bone in terms of personal and resources. However when a call for help is intercepted by Rey, Rose, Poe and BB8, they cannot ignore it. Figuring it would be better to ask forgiveness then permission they take the side mission to stop the First Order finding new weapons and en...

This was a fun, fast story following Rey, Poe, BB-8, and Rose on a mission. While not very detailed or intense (as it is a MG book) I enjoyed seeing these characters interact, especially Rey and Rose who I wish we saw more of a possible friendship between them in the movies and really appreciated here. The underground location was really interesting and the villain was so pompous he was laughable.Certainly not one I’d read again, but I did enjoy it.Content: shooting to stun; a couple space battl...

This was fun and cozy and it was cool having Rose, Rey, and Poe together (I miss Finn obviously).

This book has a super low rating and I was nervous to start it, but I gotta be honest-- this was one of my favorite adventure of the new canon. It dove in deeper to the new characters, and we are filling in the blanks and seeing how truly devious the first order is. One of the main take aways was it was darker-- for a middle grade book, it has some moments were you're kinda nervous. But it also adds a depth to the story telling. I also love this author! She writes some amazing books, so for her

Cute.The best part is that everyone in the First Order recognizes Poe because of his hair and how dreamy he is.

I have a big problem with the Resistance: They are absolutely boring, have been since the beggining and Lf has done nothing to make them more interesting. This book doesn't help either.How is it that the First Order has been described as this big bad organization but every time they show us part of it in the extra material the officers and generals are these completely useless and cartoonish villians? They bad guy in SotR literally use the phrase: "I don't like to read" and then speaks like a ba...

I wasn't entirely impressed with Ireland's Lando's Luck - while it had some great character moments between Lando and L3, and I liked the new characters, I thought the plot was way too basic. I feel similarly here, BUT unlike in Lando's Luck, I felt the positives outweighed the simple story. The moments between Rey, Rose, Poe, and BB-8 were really well done on quite a few layers. (One thing I appreciated was how Ireland talked a bit about the dynamics between Poe and Rose considering he led the

Fun, fast paced.
