Elena has been a fan of Star Wars for as long as she can remember. It’s been part of her whole life because of her father. Now after being unable to experience any other event to the series, she is going to wait in line for the newest movies hoping to meet other fans that are stoked for the new movies Disney is putting out. However it isn’t what she hoped and somehow becomes more.
It may have been a short story, but Rowell was able to put some of her charm into tale. It may not have been packed like her actual novels, but it is nothing short of her normal work. Yes, I certainly need more of Elena and Gabe and of the overall story. However it doesn’t mean five stars wasn’t earned. There were such small pieces that added to the appeal of this story. I know many complained, but I thought it was perfectly fine as it was. It isn’t like we aren’t left wanting more anyway.

Kindred Spirits is a short story for World Book Day UK, and I wasn't too sure what I was going to enjoy it, especially since I've never watched Star Wars before (Please don't hurt me). However, after finishing it I finally learned that Rainbow Rowell wasn't aiming for a short story of a girl who loves Star Wars (even though that's what it's about), she was aiming for a short story about someone who's a part of a fandom who celebrates everything with that fandom, and that made me happy. As always the writing was perfect, alas the characters. My dislike.....I want more, honestly, Rainbow Rowell should write a full novel on those two.

Un librito que nos muestra lo buena escritora que es Rainbow, que es capaz de enamorarnos de una protagonista en tan solo 60 paginas

Utterly forgettable nonsense. The characters are weak with weak development and it’s very predictable. I can’t even imagine a Star Wars fan liking this.

I really needed this to be on audio. I'll give it another try another time.
