Hammertong: The Tale Of The Tonnika Sisters, by Timothy Zahn

This was fantastic. Really dug the story, the imagery, and the characters. Particularly the sisters. This was a longer story than the other two so far and truthfully, it left me wanting more. As with the others, they're just passing through the cantina when Star Wars intersects it for a few minutes. This story goes a little beyond the events in the cantina, which I though made it even more interesting.

Again, interesting to see Star Wars through the eyes of uninvolved bar patrons. Zahn really fleshed out a great story for these two women. They're worthy of a novel themselves. His style felt almost as though he were channeling Brian Daley. Great dialogue, great feel. Like you're there. The last few pages felt like a movie.

I might have to read this one a second time before moving on. Great stuff.
