This was a fun little story. It took me about an hour to get through to the 'best' ending but there was definitely a loop of bad endings I got caught in because I cannot resist any option that sounds like I'm going to meet my boy, Kylo Ren. Either way, this is a very fun kid's book. It's simplified, and everything is very much 'set to stun'. But it was fun, and I bet kids would get a lot of enjoyment out of playing through and trying to find the good endings (I found two, and I think that's all of them but I might be wrong). I did find that, especially at the beginning, I hit a LOT of bad endings in a short space of time. Some kids might find that frustrating (I'm 22 and it was starting to wear THIN) but once I was past the first section of the book and into the main storyline it slowed down a bit and I found a lot more enjoyable when I wasn't backtracking all the time. The illustrations are amazing though, and I loved those as an addition to the story. Particularly one of an incredibly grumpy looking Kylo Ren.
Still an enjoyable adventure though, and I'm looking forward to Han & Chewie and Luke & Leia when those show up next year at some point.

Yes this is a children’s “choose your own adventure” book and no I don’t care. It was cute! Lots of bad endings that are very easy to get, but still fun. My elementary age kids who like Star Wars will enjoy it.

This book was so much fun. I made some bad choices along the way, but in the end I found that the choices that align most with the respective character yields the best choice. I found that Cavan Scott depicts the Poe and Finn with an accurate portrayal of their characters. This one is action packed and perfect for younger Star Wars enthusiasts, especially those that like to be part of the adventure.

This was a fun adventure fitting a middle-grade book. Since the format requires multiple endings and differing paths, some of the choices seem quite stupid for these characters but the "true path", leading to the best ending, was pretty cool. I actually made notes to check whether I went through all the possibilites, haha. Also, I really liked the illustrations in this one!

No rating.
DNF this book because the format doesn’t work in an ebook. I recommend a physical copy for “choose your own adventure” books.

This is definitely fun if your a fan of Star Wars and especially if you love Finn and Poe. This book is towards for younger readers but is fun for adults.

This was super cute and I think kids who are Star Wars fans would find it fun, even if the first couple of choices aren't the ones which lead to glory lol. I loved Choose your own adventure books when I was younger so this was quite nostalgic too. I liked the pictures throughout it too.
