Book Review: Spark of the Resistance by Justina Ireland

Spark of the Resistance
by Justina Ireland (j Ireland)

Spark of the Resistance is your basic Star Wars adventure story written for a younger audience. Rey, Poe Dameron and Rose Tico, after the events of “The Last Jedi” find themselves helping a tribe of aliens under attack from the First Order. The author does a good job with what she’s given: some familiar characters, nice aliens in trouble, evil Imperial-types behaving awfully and some lessons learned about being a hero. It’s a fun read, but not a must read.

[If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try Cobalt Squadron by Elizabeth Wein, or Before the Awakening by Greg Rucka.]
