The variety of art in this book is amazing and stunning, you get a real feel for how each artist views the character.  As a woman, it was great to see a book like this showcasing the amazing women in the universe.  Too often, it’s assumed that most of the artists are men and this book shows just how many amazing women also help us visualize the characters we love (and some I didn’t even know about). The stories by Amy Ratcliffe are enjoyable and give you a deeper dig into each character. 

I would recommened this book to all fans. This book would make a great holiday gift to a female Star Wars fan in your life, you can get it right now via this link at Amazon, where it is only $19.46.
