Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View is a piñata full of kaleidoscopes.

Look, it’s cheesy, chaotic, messy, and more than once heart wrenching. Just how I like my star wars!

They spent waaaay too long on stories surrounding the cantina, but otherwise was great! Standout stories were: Laina, Eclipse, The Trigger, The Baptist, There Is Another, and Grounded!

Meh. This suffers from the same problem of any large anthology--some of the stories are really good, but most range from just ok to mediocre. There were some stories that I absolutely loved: The Sith of Datawork, Eclipse, Time of Death, and The Kloo Horn Cantina Caper, to name a few. But most I felt very apathetic about. I don't think any of them were bad... just that they were too repetitive, overlapped too much with other stories, or didn't have something to make them interesting. This is still a worthwhile book, but probably something to pick and choose from, rather than to read straight through.

As ever, some are great, some not so much. Many were made worse by being the same scene from the fifth POV in a row. There are only so many times one can read a scene and still find it interesting.
