The kookiness of the plot and characterizations of this book definitely don't place it among the best Star Wars novels out there, but I have a strange soft spot for it. ( )

I totally geeked out on SW books back in the 90's and this one was my favorite. There's romance and witches! and it's totally Han-centric! What more could you want. ( )

I didn't care for this book. Just imagine the potential contained within the romance of Leia and Han! The author sold them short with a plot that revolves around Leia trying to decide if she should marry Han or bring about a union with a Prince in
order to strengthen the Rebellion.

The absolute best part is the ship named Pfffffffftht. ( )

While I am not sorry that I read this book and while I did enjoy parts of the adventure, I had to lay it aside in disgust several times at the faulty characterization of Han and Leia.

Would Leia consider marrying a foreign prince if it meant bringing new allies to the New Republic? Of course she would consider it -- what would her personal happiness mean compared to the good of the Republic? But would she suddenly question her love for Solo and just as suddenly fall in love with this new prince because he was handsome and charming? Absolutely not! The Leia in this book is unsure of her own emotions and easily turned by flattery. I would have more readily believed her jilting Han Solo if she did so with great personal sacrifice.

And as for Han -- would he take it badly, ungraciously, even obnoxiously? Of course he would. But would he drunkenly beg C3PO to help him save his romance? No way! The Han Solo in this book behaves like a love-sick teenager with no backbone at all. ( )

How Han and Leia really get together. Not a bad pro novel, not a standout. ( )
