Tales of Hope & Courage
5/5 stars
This is my second Forces of Destiny book that I have read now and I love this one so much more than the first. It was visually and aesthetically pleasing and the drawing and interactive page flaps were just so gorgeous.
I love the feminist tone of the book and some of the stories in this were ones that I've read before in a different book, but here they were told just so beautifully and I totally am gonna have my kids read this one day in the future.
•The Leia story was one I hadn't read before (I had seen the episode for it like for all of the others though) and it was a cute good starter
•Sabines is one I've read and seen before but it was done so much better here, I love this story and even my mom -who I buddy read this with- agreed that Sabine and Ketsu are totally gay for each other
•Ahsoka... We all know she is my number one love. The best Star Wars character hands down, her design in FOD is so gorgeous and she is just such a phenomenal being
•Padmé is another one I've read before but I loved this rendition. I love her relationship dynamic with Ahsoka and that they pointed out the detail of wanting to spend more time together because they're similar in age
•Jyn, her story was probably the one that felt slowest out of all of them but I did appreciate the message of someone who is very hardened by her experiences, opening up and trusting another. I love Jyn and this made me eager to pick up Rebel Rising
•Rey's is also a bit slow especially seeing it done so many times, but I do like her and find the setting of Jakku to be an interesting one. Also her bond with BB8 is just precious
Overall: obvious five stars. I hope they make more books based off different episodes set up just like this one.

I picked this up to read to my girls between reads. This book showcases small adventures in the canon timeline of some of our favorite heroines in Star Wars. We discovered that we had read these stories previously, but this was in a different format. This version of the story was in the format of Maz Katana's journal, making her the narrator. This was similar to the book versions that we had read, but this way seemed more engaging due to the details changing slightly and the illustrations being more plentiful. If you have young Star Wars enthusiasts, this one is great!
