Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge: A Crash of Fate, written by Zoraida Cordova, is a riveting romance that takes place in the First Order era in the adventurous Star Wars galaxy far, far away.  I picked this book up at Barnes and Noble one day and could not put it down for the next few days!  

Whether or not you have visited Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland, you will most likely enjoy stepping into the world of this Star Wars planet and following the smuggler Izzy Garsea as she seeks to find her place in the universe.  Along the way, she reunites with her childhood best friend Jules, who remained as a farmer on their home planet Batuu after she left as a child.  Their mutual feelings are rekindled as they come into conflict with the First Order, reminisce about the past, and wonder about a potential future together.  

If you’re not a Star Wars fan, you might find some details confusing, but if you’re a particular Star Wars enthusiast, you will notice all the tiny details that help immerse you in this alternate world.  So if you enjoy a well-written blend of romance and adventure set in the Star Wars universe, then A Crash of Fate is for you!
