[Jonathan Koan · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was really hopeful for this book: hoping it would add context to character choices from the Acolyte, hopeful it would tell a fun prequel story, and hopeful it would break away from the problems most of the YA novels have for Star Wars.

Sadly, it let me down on all of the fronts.

My largest criticism of the book is the plot. While it sounds promising to send two jedi Masters and their apprentices to a planet to help negotiate whether to more fully join the Republic. This idea was very interesting, until its abandoned about 60 pages into the book. Instead, this book becomes a "Hunger Games" esque story...just without the death and violence. As such, it feels sensitized and the stakes were uninteresting.

While Masters Sol and Elishe spend the whole book hob-nobbing with diplomats, Jecki and Yord spend the book making it through this competition. I would have loved to see Sol and Elishe negotiate and make the story about whether the planet would stay in the Republic. Unfortunately, the YA elements just made it unimpactful.

Sometimes a book can not be plot focused if the character work is done well. The book promised to focus on Jecki and Yord and their rivalric relationship. Unfortunately, that really only plays out in the beginning and by the middle portion of the book takes a big back seat to Jecki and Yord's dynamic with the new characters Sitia, Rhos, and Lio. None of those characters were interesting and I felt all detracted significantly from what the story could have been.

The story reveals a villain towards the end, and it raises the stakes a tiny bit, but unfortunately it didn't come close to being worth the 350 page (lack of) build up.

Overall, this book just didn't work for me. I was fully behind the idea of continuing the Acolyte in the book space, believing it would fit the book audience better. Unfortunately, the series is 0 for 2 with Wayseeker and now The Crystal Crown. 3 out of 10.

The Crystal Crown brings us back again to the time of The Acolyte, starting three years before the events of the show. Through the eyes of Padawan Jecki Lon and Yord Fandar, and a third POV of a character with a very well-known last name for fans of The High Republic, this book takes us through a cultural competition on a planet called Siline, in which Jecki, Yord and their new friends will have to work together, combine their strengths, learn about each other, and overall, survive.

The book is mainly narrated from Jecki’s POV, which I personally loved and enjoyed so much. Jecki is a character that stole my heart from her very first appearance, and it tore me apart when #that happened to her. Here, you’ll get to know a younger version of her, her thoughts, what she wants, her understanding of herself as a person and as a Jedi. It’s so beautiful to get to know her like this, and I ended up loving Jecki even more after finishing this book. But Yord’s POV is great too! It made me appreciate his character much more, and to see how their relationship develops from acquaintances to a true, full friendship (to my eyes, siblings) filled my heart in a way that made me cry so much during the book.

Something that Tessa does great is keeping the characters we already know in tune with their personalities in the show. And she does a great job with the new characters as well—those who are Jedi (I loved the new Jedi we get in this story) and the people from Siline. The way she explores their culture, internal conflicts, and politics was really interesting and had me hooked from the beginning, which is really important because the whole book revolves around that.

Speaking of the new characters, the third POV was definitely one of my favorite things about this book. Reading about someone who doesn’t really fit into the place they were born in, their motivations and their history, won my heart very fast.
And their relationships are also very well-developed, which is something Tessa does very well, in my opinion.

There are many action-packed scenes in this book, which makes it very fast-paced. It’s so cool to be inside the mind of Jedi while they fight, and Jecki’s mind is no exception. She’s so determined and talented, and yet she’s always so open to learning from those around her.
Also, the fight scenes reflect very well what the true purpose of the Jedi is and how much Jecki and Yord believe in their purpose as part of the Order, which is very much appreciated and in sync with what we know of this era.

There are some glimpses into the time of the books of The High Republic, and that’s always very much appreciated.

If your heart broke because of how Jecki and Yord’s story ended, and you want to get more of these characters and The High Republic era, this book is a must read!

[Brooks · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this much more than Wayseeker. That book barely tied into the show whereas this one is much more connected. The book is told mostly through Jecki’s POV (yay) and also features Yord. We didn’t get nearly enough of these two after certain unseemly events but thankfully this book tries to make up for that. I found the story itself just okay, very much a go to this planet and save the day story we’ve seen a lot already, but where it really shined was in the character interaction between Jecki and Yord. I was also pleasantly surprised how big of a role Master Sol has in this book. He was one of my favorites so I will take any additional Sol content I can get. It did read a little on the younger side of YA for me but I still had a good time.

My Rating: 3.5/5

[Maggie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thanks to Edelweiss for the ARC of this book.
I absolutely adored The Acolyte show and was really sad about them not doing a second season of it. I was thrilled when they announced this and the other tie in book, Wayseeker. The book is told through alternating PoVs from Jecki and Yord and takes place on a mission right before Yord takes his Knight trials. Jecki and Yord, along with their masters travel to a planet that is considering joining the Republic but negotiations to the fact have broken down so the Jedi are brought in to help negotiate. In order to help improve negotiations Jecki and Yord enter a culturally significant tournament in order to improve relations between the citizens of the planet with the Jedi and indirectly, the Republic, which results in a kidnapping and ransom attempt.
This was such a fun adventure with some of my favorite characters from the Acolyte

[Ben A · Rating 4 out of 5]

A really fun, YA return to some of the characters from The Acolyte in a Hunger Games-esque Star Wars tale focusing on Jecki and Yord that makes me want to revisit the show despite certain unspeakable events.

[Jacqui · Rating 3 out of 5]

Finished this today. I'd rate it a respectable 3.5 out of 5. In the interest of full disclosure, I read this book primarily for Jecki since she and Sol were my favorite new characters introduced in the Acolyte show. I did not read it for Yord since I was not a Yord fan. Jecki seemed largely in character in this and some of my favorite scenes in this book were the ones featuring her and Sol. I would love it if Tessa Gratton wrote another book just focused on Jecki and Sol having a mission together with no Yord around. Yord himself in this wasn't as annoying to me as he was in the Acolyte show, although sometimes his characterization felt a bit different to me than it did in the show. I did find Yord's Jedi Master Elishe a pretty cool and fun character. I wouldn't mind seeing her again. Preferably without Yord as a sidekick.

The worldbuilding in this book is pretty interesting especially in terms of the warrior culture being fairly complex, and I think High Republic fans will appreciate the little references to the Blight and seeing more of what happens to the Graf family. Certainly those were aspects of the world building that appealed to me, at any rate.

In terms of plot, the book does feel a bit rushed at the end, and for much of it, it does feel like a less dystopian, lower stakes version of the Hunger Games where the author and the characters themselves often go to pains to point out to the reader just how not in mortal danger the characters actually are.

I would recommend this book to people who are fans of both Star Wars and the Hunger Games who might enjoy a bit of a fusion between the two franchises as well as to fans of the Acolyte show or the characters of Jecki and/or Yord. As long as you go in with expectations appropriately set for a very Hunger Games lite style plot, I think it is overall a fun, fairly low stakes read.

[Zettifar · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was such a fun read for us High republic and Acolyte fans.

Crystal crown is mainly from Jecki's POV and as a jecki stan i loved that choice with the reader getting so many deeper dives into how she is handling her journey as a padawan, her relationship with master Sol, her eagerness to continue to challenge herself.

Was great to get such a deeper look into why Jecki gets so frustrated with Yorde in the acolyte but also during this book but the surprise was Yorde also gets at times why others get frustrated with him and to a point is something he is working on without sacrificing his values.

With the pov we get for the book it makes any interactions with new characters for this book so coded for jecki's interpretation of those characters culture, motivations and history very interesting as at this point Jecki hasn't spent a lot of time away from the jedi temple and so she is still very much learning about others outside of her up brining within the jedi.

Considering many of the main characters are Jedi, Tessa did such a fantastic job keeping the action scenes so different to anything we would tradionaly get in star wars novels through the main story development.

Tessa gratton really gave us so many cool/interesting references to the HR that have their own moments but do not over shadow this book, References to the blight and Osha.

All in all if you are a High republic or Acolyte fan then Crystal crown is a must read!!!!

[Lisa · Rating 4 out of 5]

I had low expectations but was pleasantly surprised by this story. It was a fun (not too intense) adventure for Jecki and Yord with their masters, set in the time before The Acolyte. I honestly enjoyed the book more than the show. This story did a great job showing the characters of Jecki and Yord better (which makes certain events in the show hit harder, oof), and I came away really liking Jecki as a character and feeling slightly less annoyed at Yord, haha.

I also really liked how this story showed their individual relationships with their masters, which were very different from each other but seemed to be what each one needed. It’s been a while since I’ve read a story that put a good bit of detail into master-padawan relationships, so that was really nice. It made you truly feel, rather than just know, how much that relationship meant to the padawans. Master Sol and Master Elishe are lovely presences in the story. I also appreciated that this story allowed the younger characters to shine while not removing them from the adults in some forced way.

Yord Horde rise up!

Not quite as engaging to me as the other Acolyte novel, but it did a great job at making me care quite a bit for Jecki and Yord.🥲

The new characters as well as the world of Siline were interesting, especially Rhos.

[Daniel Kukwa · Rating 1 out of 5]

It would seem I find this aspect of The Acolyte branch of the Lucasverse beyond dull. There's nothing wrong with the writing of this novel...but for me, this was just dull wallpaper, and I didn't care at all about the characters or what was going on. I'm glad others are enjoying it...but for me, this was eye-glazing. To say I was disappointed is a great understatement.

[Jason Boyd · Rating 3 out of 5]

So, there's a good Star Wars book in here. The problem is, that it only really starts at page 350. Before that, it's a watered down Hunger Games with no real stakes.

[Joe Kessler · Rating 4 out of 5]

I remain dissatisfied with Disney's treatment of the Acolyte branch of its Star Wars universe: first canceling the flawed-but-engaging TV show after a single season that ended on several obvious cliffhangers, and then, presumably recognizing that the program had amassed a dedicated following anyway, issuing two novels that do not continue forward in the canon to reveal what happens next either, but rather fill in backstory for some of the supporting cast. This prequel is at least more interesting and competently told than the previous title Wayseeker, in part because Jecki and Yord are more entertaining characters than Vernestra and Indara. Their novel also feels like a story built specifically to showcase the younger pair, whereas its predecessor seemingly functioned as a capstone to the tangentially-related High Republic era instead.

The two Padawans -- Yord hasn't undergone his trials yet to become a Jedi Knight -- take center stage here, and author Tessa Gratton captures their bickering-siblings tone well. As part of a diplomatic mission for the Order, they wind up competing in a planet's local youth tournament that's sort of like a non-lethal Hunger Games, which offers an adventure that's both fun in the moment and a vehicle for personal growth towards the later selves we already know. Readers can thus revisit these fan favorites and gain insight into their development, although there's not much to suggest the tragic end most of us are aware is coming.

But if you can set the greater shape of the franchise aside and accept the sanitized YA terms of the contest, this is a neat little Star Wars volume. It features one nonbinary human who uses they/them pronouns and a genderfluid member of a different species who shifts between she/her and he/him on occasion, which is the kind of diversity I love to see in this genre. It may not be the genuine followup to The Acolyte that audiences are still craving, but it's a decent enough diversion. I give it three-and-a-half stars, rounded up.

On the day before my 35th birthday I finished reading 5-Minute Star Wars Stories, by Rebecca L. Schmidt. For my birthday this year, I got 2 Star Wars books. Star Wars: The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown, by Tessa Gratton was the 1st. The 2nd was Star Wars: Sanctuary: A Bad Batch Novel, by Lamar Giles. That will be my next book to read, to keep the Star Wars momentum going.

In June of this book I read a book called Star Wars: The Acolyte: Wayseeker, by Justina Ireland. The Crystal Crown is the 2nd book based on The Acolyte. To remind you all, that was a live-action show, set in the High Republic era, that aired on Disney+ last year. Unfortunately, it was canceled after just a single season. Like Wayseeker, The Crystal Crown focuses 0n characters from the show, and it was great to spend more time with them since the show ended. The main characters in this book are Jecki Lon, a half-human/half-Theelin female Jedi Padawan and Yord Fandar, a human male, who was a full Jedi Knight on the show. But this book predates the show, so both Yord and Jecki are Padawans in it. These 2 were considered the fan-favorite characters from The Acolyte. I mean, I certainly really liked them. And I'm glad this book provided more information about them. However, if any of you have only read this book, but haven't watched the show, without giving too much away, you probably won't like the fate that befalls Jecki and Yord.

The synopsis for The Crystal Crown describes it as Star Wars meets The Hunger Games. That is the best way to put it. It centers on a competition called the Crystal Convocation, held on a planet called Siline. And the action scenes did have a rather Hunger Games-like feeling to them. But while some deaths do occur in The Crystal Crown, they're nowhere near the scale of the deaths in
The Hunger Games. All in all, I really liked this book.

[Angel · Rating 2 out of 5]

It is a very lackluster and uninteresting read that rehashes a lot of tropes from previous Star Wars media. When they announced there was going to be The Acolyte tie in novels, I was excited at the prospect. While the show had its problems, it opened the gate for many potential interesting stories. These novels whoever are misleading because they do not really expand the mythos of the series nor they do really do anything remotely interesting with their characters.

This book focuses on Jecki and Yord, two of the better characters in the show, while it does expand upon their past, it really doesn't add much to any of them. Any major character development happens in the show, this book just gives you something that you would qualify as anecdotal.

The supporting characters are very bland. Especially the Grafs, who have become the "never trust one" family of the Star Wars universe and it becomes very predictable. A few nods to The High Republic initiative and the show are fun, but that is not enough for this story to exist.

I know it might be harsh, but it is one of my least favorite novels. The premise sounds very good, but there are no big swings. The Convocation could have provided a rich storytelling opportunity for the characters to go through some compelling character development but they barely spend time there and it ends up feeling as an after thought.

Very disappointing read.

[Patrick Hayes · Rating 3 out of 5]

This Young Adult novel is set before the events of the television series The Acolyte. No viewing of that series is necessary to enjoy this book. In fact, I enjoyed this book much more than series, but that's probably because the supporting characters of that series are the leads in this book.

The world of Siline had an incident that requires the presence of two Jedi to smooth over relations. The non-aligned world (where half the population wants to join the Republic and half does not) is about to have a Crowning Conviction, a coming-of-age competition between the natives. The winner will become a member of the ruling body of the planet. Two padawans join their master on this trip, Yord and Jeckie. They are invited to participate in Conviction to learn about the Siline and the their world. The three stages of this event are the focus of the novel.

Without spoilers, the first event was fun, the second dragged for me, and the third really good, with a nice twist to the novel.

This book made me ache for more adventures featuring these up and coming Jedi. Their dynamic is solid, their thoughts relatable, and their actions entertaining. The final third of the novel almost made up for the middle which could be skipped and nothing lost. I was not happy with the fate of the primary antagonist.

I would recommend this to fans who want more of the Acolyte's most engaging characters.

[Arala Melnau · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was low-stakes character development, and I think that's part of what made it so good. It's like your favorite gen fic author sprung for a professional editor.

I really like the worldbuilding for the main planet, Siline. I hope it gets featured in a comic so I can *see* it someday.

There were so few good thing that came out of The Acolyte, and Jecki and Yord were two out of maybe...four? The others being Indara and the few interior shots of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. The rest was varying degrees of garbage.

I like how Jecki is so young and enthusiastic about trying new things, and remarkably aware of her own strengths and weaknesses. I like how Yord is kind of awkward, but he's still presented as competent and not used as a punchline.

This would have been five stars for me, but the weird shoehorned-in vegetarianism was just out of place. This is the only Star Wars book I've read that has Jedi characters being overtly vegetarian, but at least they're not too judgmental. Though I do wonder what they think of Jedi from carnivorous species. (I'm not being judgmental of vegetarians or vegans here, it's just treated in the book like it's part of being a Jedi, and in-universe they have synthesized protein so it's easier to do, but it was just...weird. And it seemed silly to put themselves at a disadvantage in a survival situation.)

[Ben · Rating 2 out of 5]

I like listening to Star Wars novels as a kind of palate cleanser. Something that I can get through quickly and have a lot of fun with. The audiobooks being like a graphic audio version are also a bonus. And The Crystal Crown started off checking all those boxes. But as things progressed I couldn't help but shake the feeling that too many plot points and characters moments felt convenient. Sending a team of Jedi Masters and apprentices to a planet on the fence between faction with a chance to sway them sounded good at the outset. The diet version of Hunger Games on this planet did not go well for me. What makes The Hunger Games work for me starts with strong characters in a dire situation with a backdrop of overthrowing fascists and heaps of social commentary. I mean yeah there are lots of fun bits, the costumes and the galas, the big audience and the fight for glory— and survival, mostly that. This book does not have a lot of those elements, and the tension and stakes are no where near the same. To top it all off, the story seriously lacked a good villain. It needed a President Snow and it got something much less than that.

This one was disappointing to me but still had moments where I laughed out loud or was interested in what would happen next. Not what I would call a good time, but it wasn't horrible either.

[Alyce Caswell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Padawan Jecki Lon is pleased to discover that Master Sol is taking her on a mission to another world - but she's less pleased about Padawan Yord Fandar and his master going along with them. Jecki and Yord soon find themselves signed up in a competition that will force them to work together - and perhaps Yord will even be forced to have fun! However, the competition is the least of their concerns...

So this is basically "Star Wars does Hunger Games" - and maybe I'm just in a good mood or something, but this didn't bother me at all. I mean...it was obvious and a tad cringey, yet it was still fun. Gratton also managed to make me grow very attached to Jecki and Yord. They definitely deserved better than what The Acolyte did with their characters and this prequel did them justice. I kind of wish there was a whole Jedi Apprentice-esque series about them!

This isn't a perfect book. There are issues. There were many awkward turns of phrase... the villain was revealed way too early... and a Twi'lek was named "Darren", which was so completely jarring (it's a very prevalent name here in Australia lol - it's not suitable for a Twi'lek!). But all that aside, I found it enjoyable.

[The Fizza · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.5 Stars - For me Star Wars: The Acolyte was the best live-action ' anything ' that Disney has done about Jedi characters. As a result I was interested in these prequel books this one featuring Padawans Jecki and Yord.

All-in-all this was a fun adventure which gave readers a chance to spend time with our favorite doomed Jedi as they join in a new member planet's coming-of-age ritual as featured guests while their Masters clear up a political misstep by one of their own. I hope these are just the beginning because I really would love more stories with the characters from the Disney+ mini-series.

If I have one real complaint it's that Disney Star Wars just cannot get away from the eugenics aspects set up prior to their ownership. If it’s not the Skywalkers in the ‘current timeline’ it’s the Grafs in the ‘High Republic’.

Annnnd I was really hoping that the brown kid from the bad family wouldn’t be a problem... this time ‘round. 😵‍💫🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

RECOMMENDED: For all the fans of The Acolyte as well as any High Republic YA novel readers.

[Andrew · Rating 4 out of 5]

I listened to this book via Audible.

The Crystal Crown is a prequel story to the Acolyte TV show, focusing on Jecki Lon and Yord Fandar while they were both padawans under the tutelage of Masters Sol and Elishe, respectively. The plot follows the four on a mission to Siline that of course doesn't go quite as expected.

As a young adult novel, the book knows exactly what it is and delivers on it. There's action and adventure, playful flirting that might be something more, and coming of age ordeals. I don't want to call it formulaic, but I did see the plot twists coming a long ways off, even the ones that weren't telegraphed in advance. Still, it was a lot of fun and worked for the time period, the characters, and the type of story.

Will the Crystal Crown blow you away with a saga of epic proportions? Not quite, but it will certainly entertain you and give you a fun getaway to the galaxy far, far away.

[Jackson · Rating 3 out of 5]

An alright tie-in to the Acolyte. I enjoyed getting to see more of Jecki and Yord, and I like the expansion on their characters. I felt they had a good dynamic, and this book made me even more sad about their ultimate fates.

I'm not a huge fan of the Hunger Games / Battle-royale style event that makes up the bulk of the plot. That premise is becoming such an overused trope in YA fiction that it is starting to bother me (even though I initially loved it). I did like the world-building around the Silinese though. They have the makings of an interesting culture, so I wouldn't mind seeing more of that planet and species in the future.

If you were a fan of these characters in the Acolyte, and you like YA fiction and its common tropes, then you may want to check this out.

This was fine. My biggest problem was that it took so long to get hold of. first, the delay in the audiobook, and then no UK release for said audiobook. and then, after all that, it didn't even feel worth the wait.

I didn't care for the hunger games, I didn't care for the stakes, and I didn't care about the side characters all that much.

honestly, the only good part about this book was the banter between Jecki and Yord, and even then, that was few and far between when spread throughout the story.

[Artymesia · Rating 3 out of 5]

Really enjoyed the characters from The Acolyte so it's fun to get to see them again. The book is at its best when they are interacting, as it caught the characters from the show well. The world building is fun and a lot of the boom is a pleasantly easy read. I will say the ending felt a bit abrupt and the "twist" didn't feel as supported or well laid while also feeling a bit obvious, but the book is at its best during action scenes and when Jeckie and Yord are together

[Tyler · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really appreciated getting to spend more time with characters from The Acolyte, particularly Jecki. I appreciated the world building surrounding the newly introduced planet of Siline. I was a bit confused by some characters’ motivations particularly at the end of the book, which felt somewhat rushed. Also wish we got a tiny bit more of Master Sol and Jecki’s relationship. This makes me want more Acolyte content for sure.

[Dominic · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a fun prequel story for Jecki. I was a bit surprised that Yord didn't get as much attention as a point of view character, despite accompanying Jecki for most of the adventure. This is overall a low-stakes adventure, with little hint at anything more sinister until the last 20% of the book. Recommended for fans of the Acolyte or Star Wars YA, but probably not beyond that.

[Joshua Ream · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one started a little slow and I wasn't sure how I was going to like it, but the longer it went the more I enjoyed it. Seeing the relationship of the two Padawans helped bring some extra feelings to their death in the show. The story had some nice twists and interesting cultural developments of new societies. Overall an enjoyable read that runs fairly quickly.

[Will Plunkett · Rating 2 out of 5]

I have not seen the Acolyte series (but I am sure I'd have liked it, based on what I've seen in clips and images online), and I enjoyed most of the High Republic books. This book, it just did not get off the ground. Plodded through a version of The Hunger Games meets political The Running Man. Then, it ended. Nice cover, though.

[Brittany | Magically_Blonde · Rating 4 out of 5]

Master Sol has returned to me, thank you so much! 🥹💛 Anyways, I absolutely loved reading this to get a little bit more Acolyte lore, but also to feel like I’m back in the THR era. I am so glad they got the THR authors involved in these books (this one and Wayseeker) so we can have their passion and vision for this era back again.

Oh, and as always, #RenewTheAcolyte!

A disappointment

I loved Jecki and Yord from the Acolyte, so was really looking forward to this book. While it has a decent finish, the story to get there just didn’t deliver for me.
