"Fun Star Wars book. The new Alliance government peace talks hit a snag when a planet attempts to cement ties by having their prince marry Princess Leia. Awkward.
Then we end up on a planet with a base of left over Empirials and a group of women warriors that ride Rancors, the giant beasts from that pit in Jabba's Palace.
Fun read that isn't trying to re-invent the wheel, but rather just present a decent bit of space opera. The 'courtship' works, as it never gets annoyingly over dramatic. The idea of going to the the planet of Rancors is cool enough and the added idea of them being ridden by amazons just gets better."
"3.5 actually. Pleasing in a quaint, old-fashioned way. Though it chronologically follows more recently written SW books, Courtship is among the first generation of expanded SW universe novels. It shows. The characters stay close to their big-screen stereotypes.
Not a bad story, but probably only one SW enthusiasts would bother to read, let alone enjoy. Assumedly, they will enjoy it.
"The characters in this book share the same names as those from the movies, but they are NOT the same. In addition, the book doesn't carry the Star Wars feel that we love from the original trilogy. Even the Legacy of the Force series, which was some what melodramatic, captured the Star Wars essence so much better. This book also had more nudity and suggestive content than I feel comfortable reading in a Star Wars book. All in all, I guess there is a reason this guy only got to write one Star Wars book. It's a shame that it had to be the landmark event of Han and Leia finally tying the knot."
"Enjoyed the story very much! I can't help but like it when tough guys like Han get romantic (even if it's not romantic like EVERYONE else sees it). He's also great when he acts like a puppy dog, hopping around for Leia's attention, then quickly scolded. I liked how Luke, Chewie, and the droids were written, and new characters too. There was info enough to see whom they were, but a slight openness to interpretation so you could have more of your own mental background for why they did things. I like this kind of "romance" novel, where the romance is just barely really glazed by, and the rest is more adventure. Also, many good lines that make you chuckle a bit as you read."
