grav_ityI was really excited about this one.
Basically the idea of the book is that all these kids are on a freighter bound for Canto Bight (they are, uh, not paid employees, so while they're not quite slaves, they are, at best, being hugely taken advantage of. This is discussed on the page), and they find themselves all telling stories about the legendary Luke Skywalker. The whole thing has a very campfire-feel, even though the kids are engaged in their own secondary adventure for most of the book, which I liked a lot.
The Legends range from laugh-out-loud funny to deeply profound and moving. I straight up cried at the end (surprise!), because it was just so Star Wars. Ken Liu did a fabulous job mixing myth and mayhem, and the end result was entirely delightful.
There are several movie Easter eggs, of course. This book came out in the fall, so you were meant to read it before you see the film, but I don't think it really matters. Highly read-aloud-able, too. I loved it a lot.
