Erika (17788 KP) rated Smuggler's Run: A Han Solo and Chewbacca Adventure in Books

Apr 21, 2018

This novella takes place in between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. Now, I would have liked this more, if this story hadn't been told in multiple ways already. In fact, I read 'Honor Among Thieves', which is old canon, before I read this. It was practically the same story.
Anyway, if you want to read a young adult/children's book about a smuggling mission between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, this is the book for you. Though, 'Honor Among Thieves' was better.
Side note: Greg Rucka's writes some of the best comics, so I was sold on that.

This children's book has its issues deciding what message it is really trying to give. The main theme is bullying is wrong, but it also gets mixed up with telling lies just makes things worse and while set in a zoo doing less that likely jobs make the whole thing difficult for it to give its message clearly and uncluttered by the extras.
A shame really, my daughter enjoyed it but didn't pick up the full message without some reinforcements.
Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher. and the author for allowing me to read and review a digital copy of this book.

Delightfully Dark

This is an wonderfully adult take on a classic children's tale. All the characters you loved as a child are there however you may not love them so much in this version. Henry sets a fast paced tale that follows Alice from the depths of an asylum through a blood soaked path of discovery and revenge. Whilst the fast pace can leave you a little bit wanting in terms of build up and suspense this is a great and entertaining read. If you have a couple of hours spare I would highly recommend filling with this book.
