Force Collector by Kevin Shinick

Don’t let this review dissuade you from reading this. It’s a good story, i just think i was expecting more. It has the “Journey to The Rise of Skywalker” banner but there’s not really a connection to the movies.
Sure there are some Easter eggs, characters and locations that are featured heavily throughout the movies, but the plot doesn’t have any connection. And considering the timing of the story seems to take place before TFA, i sat through most of this book waiting for some sort of time jump that never happened. I did like how it adds a new…perspective on the stories of the Force. This concept in a more adult-themed novel would be intriguing to me.
I’ve read (and enjoyed) many YA novels but this was one where I FELT like i was reading a YA novel. Good story to read if you’re a completionist like me, but if you gave me an either/or with this being one of the options, I’m probably recommending the other book first.
