This was fun! I always go into these middle grade Star Wars novellas with guarded expectations, and it's such a delight when I enjoy them. This got a few genuine laughs out of me.
The 'present-day' of this book is after the events of the The Last Jedi, but it contains a lot of flashback scenes and a story-within-a-story format, so it manages to tick a few nostalgia boxes while also dropping some tantalising tidbits about things to come.
If you're on the fence about whether or not this is worth your time, I definitely recommend picking it up. It's a very quick read (240 pages but written with a younger audience in mind) so you don't have much to lose.

Pirate's Price is a lighthearted, hilarious adventure starring none other than the galaxy's favorite "honest dishonest businessman", Hondo Ohnaka. While somewhat far-fetched and sometimes overly silly, the book maintains a reasonably believable premise and plot, with spot-on characterization and plenty of quotable lines. The audiobook is especially delightful, with Hondo's voice actor, Jim Cummings, reading and making everything even more humorous.
