A review by foreverbeautifulbooks
Spark of the Resistance by Justina Ireland

5.0

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 to be in the Star Wars universe is kinda amazing.

Still don't get the low ratings, I guess everyone is critical when it comes to Star Wars. This was also female heavy on the heroing so that could also be why. We know the white males of the Star Wars universe fandom tend to look negatively upon that.
