Solid book. Nothing amazing, nothing bad. Just a good fun story with some hilarious moments.

I'm not a Star Wars mega fan, but I had a great time with this read. For fans whose love only extends to the original trilogy, I found the story easy to follow. There was no need to buy a hundred other books to connect with this one. It was great to read a book written by an obvious fan, and Hearne's charm and wit are more present than ever. Loved it!

Solid Star Wars book. I liked getting to see Luke's inner monologue. Not ground breaking but it was entertaining. Enjoyable experience for a Star Wars fan

Writing a book in first person from Luke's perspective after A New Hope is very ambitious in my opinion. Like most fans, my expectations were sky high for Heir to the Jedi. I don't think that it was terrible, by any means, it just wasn't that great. I didn't get into until I was over half way. The plot in the beginning was very thin and the setting jumped all over the place. I think, if the goal was to have Luke learn more about the force on his own, that this would have worked better as a short story rather than a full novel. Or, it could have been written in third person and had a stronger plot.
