Ezra's Gamble | Ryder Windham

Title: Ezra's Gamble Author: Ryder Windham So here's the second installment in the Star Wars Rebels series, and it was also extremely enjoyable. Ezra is a very likable character with hints of a very tragic past. He is funny, quick, and very independent. He encounters Bossk, a popular bounty hunter in Star Wars canon, and helps him with a mission. This makes for some funny banter and interesting situations.  This is an easy read, again meant for a younger audience, and puts Bossk in a different light than he's been seen before. I'm not really sure why people are not enjoying these books. It just feels like they want to hate on what Disney is doing with Star Wars so much so that it's just silly. But anyway, this was fun for me to read. I read it in one sitting last night. Five out of five stars. ------------ READING PROGRESS: Last Day by Luanne Rice: 83% The Valley of Amazement  by Amy Tan: 51% Desperation by Stephen King: 12% A New Dawn by John Jackson Miller: NOW ST...

It's very short and easy to read and definitely geared toward children, but it's really cute and the author does a great job at hinting at the back story to each of the characters. There are evidently mini episodes depicting each of the stories told in this book available on YouTube, as well.  Anyway, I just thought the characters were fun to read about, particularly Ezra.  Five out of five stars. --------------------- QUOTES "There were few signs of her people in the galaxy these days other than the notorious bounty hunter Boba Fett, who wore Mandalorian armor. His captures and kills had only helped spread the legend that the Mandalorians were the most fearsome warriors in the galaxy." "One day, maybe her own name would have a similar effect. Sabine Wren. Another Mando you didn't want to mess with. ...
