I really enjoyed this book. It takes place between The Last Jedi & The Rise of Skywalker & chronicles how the Resistance reformed itself after the battle on Crate. There were some very entertaining moments and a few older characters reappearing that was great ❤

I really did enjoy this book a LOT, but the corona virus lockdown has been a killer for my reading life. I read the first half in paper copy, then listened to the last half - I got too stressed to turn the page!!! If you loved Claudia Gray‘s Bloodline, definitely read this - I loved how they tied the storylines together.

I thought this was so so good!! The best movie I've ever seen in the theater and my new favorite Star Wars movie 😁
I will definitely be seeing it again 😍

Have you seen it yet? What did you think?

(To keep this post bookish, the tagged book is a Star Wars novel high up on my list📚)

Karisa Family saw it yesterday and liked it too. I thought it was great but wish her abilities weren't attributed to special family line. Does that make her another Disney princess? I was hoping they'd make the choice to open up the force as a possibility for anyone (even a "nobody"). The way they did it brought a balance though to the duality. Loved that Ben had a chance to do the right thing. ? Love Star Wars! 5y

bookishbitch @Karisa I believe the force has long been open to everyone, including nobodies. It was just the movies who put an emphasis on the Skywalkers. And the title I believe was about Ben's rise, not Rey's. It was also a great nod to your family being about who you choose them to be. 5y

Meaw_catlady Really really good!! I cried so much!! I think the last Jedi was better visually . But emotionally this movie crushed me. The kylo ren / Ben storyline just crushed me. He is my all time favorite. Adam Driver is my favorite. 5y

Hestapleton #unpopularopinion I liked it until the very end! Some the choices (like Kyle and Rey‘s kiss) felt like they came out of nowhere and I found a lot of the movie to a bit heavy handed where subtlety would have worked better. I‘m a bit salty that episodes 7-9 are basically a remake of episodes 4-6, but it wasn‘t as bad as I was expecting it to be. 5y

This really didn't prepare me for what happens in Rise of Skywalker, but it was a good examination of the desperation of the Resistance after the Battle of Crait. The books have done such a great service to the character of Leia!
Saw the movie last night, and it was excellent!

Loved this! A great lead-in to Star Wars: Episode IX. Rebecca Roanhorse does a great job capturing all the character voices, especially General Leia.

This was more than my $1 dollar bookmarks in my previous posts...but was also #retailtherapy. 🙈

Also - it bridges the gap between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker so I definitely wanted to read it before the movie comes out next week. 🙃

Branwen I'm super curious to see what you think of this one! I hope it's awesome! 📚💕 5y

Full of some wonderful Poe & Finn adventure, as well as some Leia (who I will sorely miss as I watch the last film, but it was great seeing that character alive & fighting in the novels yet) in the mix with popular book characters that we haven‘t seen since their individual books. Such a great book for fans of the movies and books... pulling together a bunch of the novel characters into the larger story about rebuilding the resistance.

This book is such a good fan book as surviving resistance members fan out to enlist and track down old allies. It‘s absolutely great to hear about and from characters we haven‘t heard from since their storylines in other books in the series. But when Snap (Aftermath) has to break the news to Wedge Antilles about all his former friends from his rebel days that were lost in The Last Jedi, and especially his good friend Luke, I seriously welled up!

Here‘s where we‘ve been, and Canto Bight is what‘s next for January 2020! Don‘t forget to put your copy on hold at your library.

NovelGirl82 Thanks for keeping me on track, Melissa!! Do we have a bunch left after Canto Bight? 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @NovelGirl82 Easily enough for all of 2020. Inferno Squad, Phasma, Cobalt Squadron, the Aftermath Trilogy, the new Galaxy‘s Edge books (I think there are 2 currently), Alphabet Squadron, Force Collector, Dooku, Tarkin, and whatever they put out in 2020. So far, I believe I read about a Thrawn Ascendancy series coming, a follow up to Queen‘s Shadow titled Queen‘s Peril, and a sequel to Alphabet Squadron titled Shadow Fall. So whatever we vote for 5y

NovelGirl82 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Awesome! I‘m excited to continue! Hopefully, I‘ll be able to contribute to discussions more this year. Being back in school may keep me a little behind, but one of my goals is to keep up with this buddy read. Another one is to catch up on Fever series! (edited) 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @NovelGirl82 it‘s definitely hard when you‘re in school, lots of other things that need read. Well it‘s a good time to catch up there, she has a new one coming out in 2020 too. 5y

Andrew65 Thanks for this, I look forward to joining the Reads and discussions, even if 20 months late 😂, I was lost in the universe! The Force certainly wasn‘t with me. (edited) 5y

DivaDiane I really wish I could keep up with the reading group, but I notice that I haven‘t read any of the books since Ahsoka! Also I‘m not using Litsy anymore (it was too all consuming, so while I didn‘t delete it, I‘m not participating), so I guess what I‘m trying to say is maybe it‘s time to remove me from the tag list. Thanks! Enjoy the rest of the reading plan! 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @DivaDiane I knew I hadn‘t seen you around lately. I‘m glad everything‘s ok and it‘s just you‘re stepping back. I‘ll miss our discussions, and If you ever want to join back in, just let me know.... take care of yourself. 5y

GrilledCheeseSamurai Somehow, I didn't know this was a thing. I'm staring Resistance Reborn tonight. Guess I just missed it. Funny enough - I almost bought Canto Bight today so I'm thinking I could join in on that come January. 🤘 5y

Jari-chan Just found the audio book of Canto Bight, so I would like to join your group for the January buddy read and hopefully for the coming books as well 😊 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @GrilledCheeseSamurai Sounds good! I enjoyed Resistance Reborn, hopefully you will to. 5y

Just a reminder we are wrapping up November‘s read and heading into the new Resistance Reborn for December.

It picks up shortly after the survivors flee on the Falcon, and I have every intention of finishing it BEFORE I see the new, and last (that still sounds wrong), movie.

Andrew65 Yes please. How long has it been going? 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Andrew65 About a year and a half. 😂. I send out a survey monkey on Litsy and pick the next book from the ones we haven‘t read yet. January is Canto Bight, by the way, if you want to put in your library hold.

Canto Bight (Star Wars): Journey to Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Andrew65 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Wow! I really do have my head buried in the sand. 😳😴🤯 Thanks I will search it out. 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Andrew65 It‘s easy to miss, there is SO much to see on Litsy every day, it‘s impossible to see it all. 5y

bookandcat Been waiting on the library for over a month or two now 😬 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @bookandcat I knew this would be a hard one since it just came out. If you have Scribd or want to use their free trial, they do have the audiobook on their site. 5y

NovelGirl82 Oh, I forgot this was December‘s! I‘ll have to get it with one of my Audible credits! I can‘t believe this will be the last movie. 5y

I adored this! Roanhorse does a fantastic job of pulling in storylines from the movies, cartoons, comics, and other books without making it feel like you had to have consumed everything first. I think this would be a good place to start with Star Wars books. It feels like the perfect bridge between Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker. The Star Wars humor is captured perfectly, and I cried multiple times. I highly recommend this!

Christine Oh good, thanks for your review! This just came in for me on audio...if only I had fewer houseguests and therefore actual time to listen to it! 😝 5y

annkuch13 @Christine Haha! That is a bummer. 😄 I think you'll like it when you get a chance to escape the houseguests! 5y
