Pretty goodthis is a cool short story. Nothing too crazy, but enjoyable. If like to read more about the main character.
Audiobook review:Performance – 5Story – 4Overall – 5Good Short StoryI really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. January LaVoy did a fantastic job with her performance of the story. While I'm not a huge Star Wars fan, I have enjoyed watching the movies. I'm not exactly sure where this story fits in but that didn't really matter.The story was packed with action and quite a surprise at the end. My only complaint was that the ending was a bit abrupt. I know it's a short story but I liked everythin...
Remember that lady from The Force Awakens whose in that bar that kinda reminds you of the bar from A New Hope except that one dude isn’t pushing on Luke and talking about his grunty friend that don’t like nobody before Old Ben starts chopping? That lady! She calls the bad dudes! She’s on the front cover of this here book! Turns out, that lady’s name is Bazine and she’s not to be trifled with. She’s basically a freelance assassin/spy with a dangerous set of skills. She’s also really cool; part an...
3-3.5 of 5 stars. Star Wars: The Perfect Weapon is a tale about Bazine Netal, a character who made an appearance in a quick scene in Maz's Castle from The Force Awakens. She was the creepy black-lipsticked female informant who we first saw sharing a couch with that huge Dowutin alien. This short story provides a bit of background for her, with a focus around one of her past missions. On the whole a fun and fast read, but in the end, probably one that you can take or leave. It's not vital to the
In the 2015 film The Force Awakens (very obscure - look it up on IMDB) in the cantina scene, there is a scary looking female sitting with an enormous bad guy. This is Bazine Netal, and she is a badass. If Abrams and company are smart, we’ll see more from her.Delilah S. Dawson makes a fun contribution to Star Wars canon with this 2015 short story that provides some backstory to this very interesting character. In the Bobba Fett / Lando Calrisian tradition: another lovable rogue.
The Perfect Weapon by Delilah S Dawson A Star Wars fan fiction adventure. Science fiction novella. Bazine is a pay-for-hire mercenary. “She preferred her work like she preferred her clothes: tidy, no nonsense, a good fit, and ready to burn if she had to run.”In this story she is on a mission with a new sidekick that requires training, possibly protecting and for certain, watching her back. Quick and fun adventure.I enjoyed the background music on the audio version. It’s not routine so it stood o...
Interesting little story.
I started reading a book yesterday that I couldn't get into and since The Last Jedi is still fresh in my mind, I started reading this short story...And was totally hooked!Bazine Netal is ruthless. She's great with disguises and totally lethal with any and every weapon. She's sharp, clever and unforgiving. But teaming up with amateurs isn't something she likes.When she's hired to track down a case that belonged to an ex-stormtrooper, and has to teach someone along the way, she's determined to get...
Pretty solid short story, though if I'm being honest I was mainly reading it just for the canon information, not out of enjoyment.Now I'm not saying that there was anything wrong with it. The writing was solid. The character was interesting. I'm just being honest in my motivations to read this story. It didn't really provide me with any valuable information and It could probably have been skipped over.A solid 3, maybe 3.5 because of subject matter.
A perfectly crafted story about a completely new character which serves as a comprehensive introduction, narrates a worthy challenge and manages to include some vital information about the future of Star Wars. The only weak point is that just as Aftermath, the mystery is not solved and an appropriate conclusion is nowhere to be found.
A fun, short read about a hyper-competent stabby-stabby-killy-killy female operator and her sudden but inevitable betrayal while on a mysterious smash and grab job.PS Yes, the skullcap hood and the mesh shirt get origin stories. I kid you not.
Action from the start, this was a gripping read. There were twists and turns I did not anticipate. The author was able to paint vivid images in my mind with her words. If you are a Star Wars fan, you should definitely read this.
Bazine is a badass.
Not really my cup of tea, but read for "Star Wars Day."
