Canto Bight (Star Wars): Journey to Star Wars: The Last Jedi by Rae Carson, Saladin Ahmed, Mira Grant

3.0

Four loosely connected Star Wars novellas, all set in the decadent casino city from The Last Jedi. They're generally solid but unremarkable little sci-fi action tales, entertaining but adding little to our understanding of Canto Bight beyond what's in the movie. The only real stand-out is Mira Grant's "Wine of Dreams" for its meditations on the power of stories and a truly alien perspective that's surprisingly uncommon in Star Wars. As a whole, though, the book can feel a bit predictable and repetitive.
