Not really my cup of tea, but read for "Star Wars Day."

Pretty solid short story, though if I'm being honest I was mainly reading it just for the canon information, not out of enjoyment.
Now I'm not saying that there was anything wrong with it. The writing was solid. The character was interesting. I'm just being honest in my motivations to read this story. It didn't really provide me with any valuable information and It could probably have been skipped over.
A solid 3, maybe 3.5 because of subject matter.

Short, but sweet. So glad we're getting badass ladies in the new canon after our favorites were expunged into "Legends."

I'm going to be quick and to the point with this one.
I don't really like short stories. Actually, I usually hate 3 out of every 5 I attempt, so I just don't attempt them much anymore.
This is a short story. A fantastic one, with a deep, likable bad behaving female lead. I LOVED it. Go buy it.

Seemingly inconsequential
Glad this was only two dollars. The writing was decent enough for a short story, but everything the protagonist needed was there for her. And the ending left me annoyed rather than wanting to read more able up the mystery.

Real Rating: 3.5
This book follows the bounty hunter Bazine a.k.a. The Perfect Weapon. From childhood, she was trained to be the perfect foe...the perfect assassin. She is one not be trifled with and those who have, well, they have met their demise at her hands.
Our story opens on a cantina, Bazine is there to meet a mysterious client. After ridding herself of a few "admirers", she let up to a room where she is given a task to find a metal case. She takes the case and is saddled with a slicer named Orri Tenro on a ship called the Sparrowhawk. They head toward the planet of Vashk in search of this case.
My opinion on this:
Okay, I get it. She is a beautiful woman. She wears black. I got that several times already. You do not need to continously put this out there. We get it. We get it. Just please stop.
The thing I would have liked to know is her backstory. Her complete backstory. There are no mentions of her parents or even how she really ended up being with her mentor and turned into this assassin. This is pretty much something I would have loved to have gotten the story on. This book gave nothing of importance to her character.
This book was short and I suppose it was meant to be that way. I had high hopes that this book would reveal more but I found myself disappointed. I vould not even connect with Bazine in any way and I wish I could have. She has so much potential rather than being just in one scene of The Force Awakens. Maybe we might get something more and I will hang onto that hope.
