From a Certain Point of View by Elizabeth Schaefer
2.0
It PAINED me greatly to give this a 2 rating.
A New Hope is my favourite out of all of the Star Wars movies and so I had HIGH expectations for this. It started off with two great stories and then nose-dived. A number of the stories were a struggle to finish, so-much-so that I simply skipped to the next one without finishing. When I knew which side characters were going to be featured, I had nothing but excitement to see what authors would create for them. Bitter disappointment was my prevailing reaction.
I felt that some authors failed to grasp their featured characters. A number of the authors are on my radar as authors that I would like to read a book by. I'm now sceptical at picking up their works in the future.
Overall, I like less than a handful of the 40 stories in this anthology about one of my favourite movies. It was such a bitter disappointment.
