The Courtship of Princess Leia by Dave Wolverton
4.0
This book was a great combination of Force philosophy and romantic drama with a great touch of humor from Han and Threepio. About 70 pages in I decided to pull out my highlighter and save passages for later perusal.
That said, I don't necessarily recommend it for Leia fans, because even though she never sheds a tear in the films, she weeps frequently throughout the book and seems flighty and indecisive due to her constant flip-flopping between Han and Isolder—traits I would never usually ascribe to her. I think this is a result of the author's choice to never settle into her narrative voice, and instead choosing even Isolder's POV over Leia's.
