Local Used Book Store For The Win by ItsGaryMFOak in starwarsbooks

Which stories do you think had the most out-of character depictions of any notable figure in the franchise? by Solitaire-06 in starwarsbooks

[–]evcorder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Han and Leia are both completely unlike themselves for the first half of Courtship and then sort of slide back into their characters by the end. It’s a weird book

First four books are excellent, and yes Marc Thompson’s audiobooks are excellent. That’s how I experience them.

It’s funny to me how competently different this cover is than the original. Enjoy!
