Star Wars The Force Awakens: Rey's Story

I’ll never understand the hate Rey gets. She went from a little girl who’s just trying to survive the day to a strong warrior who’s trying to heal the galaxy. Her journey is about helping others while trying to find who she is. Her story is actually very inspiring and full of light. Not having a family, living with not knowing if she could have anything to live with on the next day, she basically raised herself and had to go through it all alone. She’s never lost hope, always looked up for a better chance. She kept fighting. First, for her life and then for other lives too.

About the book, I enjoyed it. TFA is my favorite movie of the sequel trilogy, I think it’s one of my SW movies too so I knew this would be a good journey to jump into. It’s a short read, I finished as soon as I started. Although, I wish some parts were more detailed. There were some wasted scenes where could’ve seen her emotions and its effect on what was happening more. But still, I loved it. Or I just love Rey and am down for everything that has her. Who knows?
