My review

~I was sent a copy from the publishers-all opinions are my own~

I give it - 4/5

My review - I was so excited about this book and it didn't let me down.
I am a huge Star Wars fan and the fact that this book has stories written by some of my favourite authors just made me so happy. I loved reading each one and also finding new authors that I now need to read more from.

It's hard to describe this book other than it's a brilliant book filled with all these different stories from different authors and it all just works so well! 

There are some stories that will just blow you away, stories that would make any Star Wars fan happy. There are no bad stories. It's hard to choose which ones I loved the most but I really enjoyed Chuck Wendig, Elizabeth Wein(so freaking good), Renee Ahdieh, Meg Cabot...These are some of my favourites in this book but to be honest, they are all so entertaining in their own way.

If you love Star Wars and want to read some fun stories from the galaxy I can't recommend this enough! It will remind you why you love Star Wars and, you'll find some new authors along the way.
