A Crash of Fate by Zoraida Córdova

4.0

Jules and Izzy were best friends as kids, but Izzy’s family moved away in the middle of the night before the two could say goodbye. They both wondered about each other for years. Now, Izzy is back and she’s brought trouble. Jules isn’t sure what to make of her. While on the run from smugglers and an angry pirate, the two will come to terms with their feelings and what they mean to each other.




This was a fun one. I actually started this book while waiting in line at Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World. I think that’s part of the reason I liked it so much. The book has connections with the park, both take place on Batuu, and there are actual places you can visit like Oga’s Cantina.




I loved Jules and Izzy. I found myself wanting to know more about them and their families. It was fun following their adventure and watching them discover their feelings about one another.




Córdova does a great job making this one feel cinematic. It felt like I could be reading a script for a new tv show. Which leads to my only complaint, I want more. Characters are introduced and events take place that definitely need more exploration. Especially the ending, what happens next?!?! To my knowledge this will remain a standalone.




I recommend this one if you’re a sci-if fan. If you’re looking for a space opera, there’s not a lot of space travel, BUT there’s a lot of drama and action. A Crash of Fate is a fun romp Star Wars fans will enjoy! Definitely put it on your list if you’re visiting Disney soon!
