This is a young adult novel which is ancillary to the "main" canon storyline, set sometime before The Force Awakens. It is a bit different in that sense from the other "Journey to the [insert movie title]" in that most of the others have been set in between the last movie and the next one, so this would be better under the "Journey to The Force Awakens" than The Rise of Skywalker. The novel is centered around a force-sensitive teenager named Karr who can see history by touching items and runs away from home with his friend, the daughter of a First-Order officer and his droid to find items linked to the Jedi, in hopes to find a living Jedi to train him. It is, of course, set at a time when Luke Skywalker is in exile, and for some strange reason, the only memory of the Jedi seem to be of those who were around before the clone war and much of what people do remember of the Jedi is through the lens of disinformation that the Empire used to tarnish their Jedi's collective reputation.
Even though the book is one of the young-adult novels, it is long enough (about 370 pages) and good enough that adults can find it enjoyable too. Through his travels, the main character visits different locations from the prequels, the original trilogy, and the sequel trilogy. It contains events from the movies, sometimes from a different perspective from what was shown in the particular movie scene. The story flows well, and if you are a fast reader it is pretty easy to get through in a few days, or less. Chances are if you collect all the hardcover novels as they come out you will get this anyway. If you are one who only gets some, but not all, of the young-adult novels, I definitely think this one is worth the purchase.

An Enjoyable Journey!
Loved it!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Growing up alongside the Star Wars galaxy, this compelling coming of age adventure introduces us to fascinating and witty characters from a whole new world enriching the Star Wars timeline! I found myself hanging on to every word as if I was with them on their inquisitive journey witnessing familiar events within the Star Wars canon. Kevin Shinick’s Force Collector is an exciting story for all ages taking us on a joyride that leaves us wanting to know more about the planet of Merokia; its people, droids, and how it’s history plays out within our galaxy, and galaxies far far away!I’m looking forward to more travel encounters with Karr, Maize, and RZ-7!
