While I didn’t necessarily dislike this one, it was a bit of a disappointment. I was really looking forward to it but it unfortunately fell a bit short for me.

The one thing this book really gets right is the Original Trilogy characters. Luke, Han, Leia, and the others are all handled excellently and their interactions are lots of fun. I also like how this book briefly examines Leia’s feelings about being the daughter of Darth Vader, and how her feelings differ from Luke’s. I also really enjoyed Luke’s conversations with another character, Gaeriel, who is basically opposed to the Force due to her religious beliefs. Those discussions had a lot of interesting ideas and I wish there had been more of them. The more political scenes of Leia and the others talking to the Imperial Bakuran officials were also great.

As far as negatives, well� mainly, nothing else about the book did anything for me. The Ssi-ruuk are interesting conceptually but I never felt that they were all that exciting or even threatening. The plot overall also didn’t grab me. Really, this book works best in certain scenes for me, while the whole wasn’t as strong.

Overall this was an okay read. I was really hoping to love it, considering that it’s a very direct follow-up to Return of the Jedi. But, aside from some of the scenes, this one doesn’t leave too much of an impression on me.
