Librarian: As a children's librarian purchasing this book for the collection is a bit of a no brainer. Star Wars is immensely popular among my patrons (especially the boys) and they devour everything we get on the subject. The fact that this time out we get a story of Lando and L3 written by the always fabulous Justina Ireland? Icing on the cake.
Reader: I have read nearly all of the new Star Wars expanded universe books, and a decent percentage of the old expanded universe (now called Legends). Among those is the old "Tales of Lando Calrissian", a collection that this story would not fit into at all. And that's not a bad thing. This Lando is a lot more fun than the Lando of the "Legends" universe. It makes for a much more fun reading experience. Plus it's a middle grade novel, so it doesn't take long to get through.
