Publisher Description

As seen in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, welcome to the casino city of Canto Bight. A place where exotic aliens, captivating creatures, and other would-be high rollers are willing to risk everything to make their fortunes. Set across one fateful evening, these four interconnected stories explore the deception and danger of the lavish casino city.

• An honest salesman meets a career criminal as a dream vacation turns into the worst nightmare imaginable, in a story by Saladin Ahmed.

• Dreams and schemes collide when a deal over a priceless bottle of wine becomes a struggle for survival, as told by Mira Grant.

• Old habits die hard when a servant is forced into a mad struggle for power among Canto Bight’s elite, in a tale by Rae Carson

• A deadbeat gambler has one last chance to turn his luck around; all he has to do is survive one wild night, as told by John Jackson Miller.
 
In Canto Bight, one is free to revel in excess, untouched from the problems of a galaxy once again descending into chaos and war. Dreams can become reality, but the stakes have never been higher—for there is a darkness obscured by all the glamour and luxury.

Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“When I started this book I did not expect it to be a five star read but... here we are. This book is comprised of four short stories that all follow a different group of people in and around the casinos of Canto Bight, as featured in The Last Jedi (the second movie of the Star Wars sequel trilogy). Being honest, TLJ has never been my favorite Star Wars movie and, without the context of this book, sending Finn and Rose to Canto Bight felt like a cheap attempt to separate Finn and Rey for the final two installments. While I can't say that this book has changed my mind about that movie, it's definitely provided me with an appreciation for the setting on the grand scale. This book really got me thinking about some of the more "mundane" aspects of life in the Star Wars universe and, honestly, that's exactly what I want books like this to do. Each story has its own charm, main characters, and conflict, but they are all able to tie together in a really satisfying way that doesn't take away from the main plot of any of the stories. It feels like each author really had a chance to shine with their respective story and I would love to read more from any of them. I'm trying to keep this as spoiler free as possible, so I'll just say that all four of the stories are fantastic. It's honestly hard to choose a favorite from them... for me, it's a tie between the first and last stories. As a whole, though, every story had something that made me want to keep reading and I never felt like the narrative was dragging. These stories are the perfect example of why I love Star Wars so much: there are so many little stories to tell - not all of them as serious or life-and-death as the others. tl;dr I don't think this book is going to make anyone like The Last Jedi - but that isn't really the point. If you go into this book with an open mind, not expecting the usual lightsaber and blaster battles, I think you'll have a much better experience. Overall, this book has the potential to be one of my favorite reads of the year and I'm so happy I decided to give it a chance.”
