Star Wars Journey to the Force Awakens The Face of Evil Tales From a Galaxy Far Far Away edition by Landry Q Walker Children eBooks
Ryn Biggleston is a notorious thief. After betraying her partner-in-crime, Ryn turns to Maz Kanata for safety. But Maz will only help her for one day, free of charge. If Ryn wants additional days, she'll need to pay some hefty prices and what thief would give away their precious hard work? Well, the Frigosian cryptosurgeons Laparo and Thromba might just have the answer, but will it bite Ryn in the back?To be honest, I can't tell what this story is trying to set up for Episode VII. The other stories by Walker were made to introduce the audience to Ithano, Zuvio, and Bobbajo. As far as I know the characters introduced in "The Face of Evil" hasn't been revealed to be in the movie. Now, with how the story ends, Ryn's absent would make sense. The Frigosians, well, it's possible they'll make appearances. However, it feels more like the story was made to introduce us to Maz Kanata's castle than any characters.*
The notable characters are as follow: Ryn Biggleston, Laparo and Thromba, Drix, and BeeLee. Drix is the Frigosians' hunchback assistant while BeeLee is Ryn's former partner that she left for dead. There isn't much to say about the characters. Ryn is a thief who would do anything to keep her money. BeeLee screws over Ryn with her final breath. Drix is pretty much Ygor to the Frigosians while the two are excitable mad scientists.
Oh, speaking of mad scientists, their experiments are kind of hard to suspend disbelief, Now, the two making Ryn into another species I can buy. Ryn is human and the species they chose is near-human so it's not hard to see them alter her appearance in such a way. However, when we see Specimen Nine, it pushes it beyond the edge. Specimen Nine is composed of a mix-mash of various species. The Star Wars universe may have fantastical elements but even that is pushing.
Like the rest of Walker's Star Wars shorts, "The Face of Evil" is a fast read. It would probably only take you an hour at best to finish it in one setting. However, I just didn't care for the characters and the only things I liked about it was the Frigosians, their Frankenstein-like lab, and what they did to Ryn. In the end, it just feels like filler.
By-the-by, why is there a Duro on the cover? No Duro shows up in the story. I would have thought they would use an illustration of either Ryn or Drix. Where did the Duro come from?
Also, Biggleston? That's the least Star Wars name I've ever heard.
*EDIT as of 12/17/2015: Just got back from seeing the movie and the Frigosians do make an appearance, but only in the background.

Star Wars Journey to the Force Awakens The Face of Evil Tales From a Galaxy Far Far Away edition by Landry Q Walker Children eBooks Reviews
It was a fun little story. I loved the Maz Kanata teases but the story felt very out of place in the SWU. It was fun but probably my least favorite of the short stories.
Loved this story. It is geared more towards kids than adults but it is a Star Wars Story.
It was a good read with mad scientist, murder and karmic retribution. I enjoyed this including the overly detailed surgical procedure.
Don't read this book expecting to hear about an adventure of Luke Skywalker or a misadventure of C-3PO and R2. But that doesn't matter. This book is an intriguing look into the Star Wars galaxy from a somewhat minor perspective. For such a quick read, it was considerably good
I guess I didn't expect much when I bought this story expected the usual crazy scientist Fiasco type story and it did live up to that but the problem was towards the end it was a tad confusing so good luck figuring it out.
With this story, we get our first look inside the castle of Maz Kanata on Takodana. There is an Edgar Allan Poe feel. It is a dark and stormy night. There's something in the basement. There's also a Frankenstein-like feel to the science.
When I first saw the fluffy yellow creatures featured in this story, I thought they were ridiculous even for Star Wars. But, I like their characterization. I want to explore Maz Kanata's castle more.
I give this short story a 5/5. It is a fun and creepy read.
If you are like me and want to delve into and read all things Star Wars, then take a half hour break and read The Face of Evil. It mostly takes place on a new planet we are introduced to in The Force Awakens and we meet our new characters. It's Star Wars meets Frankenstein as we get a clever take on the old tale! Our new characters include a thief on the run, a couple of scientists with a penchant for wild reconstructive surgery , their faithful yet maimed assistant, and of course their own monster they created in an ancient castle on a dark and stormy night! The read is fun and fast paced, but I admit I did see the end coming after halfway through. Overall it's a good story and we get to learn a little more about the planet Takodana and Maz Kanata's castle that are featured in The Force Awakens. Give the story a shot and relive the tale of Frankenstein Star Wars style in a galaxy far, far away...
