Fantastic, Funny, Clever Action-oriented Quest - even for those uninitiated to Star Wars!
>>Can be read as a standalone. I have read 0 other Star Wars books. (But I plan on more by black/POC women)
>>Requires no previous Star Wars knowledge. I have watched 0 of the original trilogy on purpose, parts of the prequels, and sadly, none of the new ones. (The latter at least I plan on changing Soon(tm))
>>Clever.
>>Funny.
>>I love Justina Ireland!!!
>>Love the cover and few illustrations.
>>Contains Cheeky Droid Navigator, Do Right Adventuress Princess and her badass Assassin Queen mom, spaceship fighting, color-changing alien cat species with three tails and a quest to save the world, pay off debts, and stave off the Empire for another day.
>>And obvious Lando in all his GLORY. I will admit it still makes me do a double-take seeing Donald Glover as Lando. He's perfect, don't get me wrong, but I still have this moment of "I KNOW YOU! You belong somewhere else too!!".
>>I think even people who don't like or care about Lando will enjoy this. I think *this* story is more of what people were looking for in the Solo movie.
Notes from Reading:
>>"Forsythia stilled, and suddenly Lando was less certain that the gian cave monster wasn't a better option." - pg.29
>>"Lando only knew that the one time he'd joked about such a thing, she'd flown into a snit and refused to help him pilot the Falcon for nearly a week, stranding him on Tatooine, a miserable dustbin that he never wanted to return to again." -pg.109
>>"Zel sniffed. "You keep giving me guns but no one to shoot," she said, ears drooping a little as she made her way to the gun bays." -pg. 133
>>"Okay, we all like each other and we are all smart and beautiful. Still, I have five ships closing in fast." - pg.135
