Erika (17789 KP) rated From a Certain Point of View: Star Wars in Books

Jul 27, 2019

This was really a mixed bag of stories. Some were great, some were meh, and some were boring AF. This book is a collection of stories from other, very minor characters during A New Hope.
By far, the beginning of the book is the strongest. One of my favorites was the story of the guy that didn't shoot down the 'empty' pod. It reminded me of Spaced.
The meh and boring stories were really unnecessary. Have you ever wanted to know about an illicit affair occurring between a Stormtrooper and an Officer, passing messages between each other via a mouse droid? That's going to be a no from me, dawg. Have you ever wanted to know the story behind the trash monster? ME NEITHER.
It ended strong, I liked the rebel alliance stories. One of my other favorites was told from Biggs' perspective, and I've always loved Biggs.
Overall, an ok mix of stories.

So, I did legitimately count. New canon=46 (adult/YA/middle grade books); 'Legends'= approx 25-30; Graphic novels= 24 (new canon); 4 (Legends), and I just got 10 more graphic novels from the library.
Star Wars is my main fandom obsession, I was raised on it. I can even remember the first book I read, The Courtship of Princess Leia. I'm a super nerd, and I like to know everything that's happening currently.

This is my first Lisa stone book I'm definitely going to read the rest of her books. It's about a man who works for a CCTV company called home security. He installs CCTV systems into clients homes he calls them his extended family and after he finishes work he goes to his bedroom to watch the live streams and as soon as he sees something he doesn't like he sends automated messages to the clients to warn them to check there windows and doors and to alert the police. The police question Derek flint as there seems to be break-ins where he's installed the CCTV and police think he's behind all the break ins but it turns out to be one of his ex aprentices who is behind all the things that have gone on I would highly recommend this book it had me on the edge of my seat more than once
