Force Heretic III: Reunion by Sean Williams, Shane Dix
3.0
I don’t have a lot to say about the early stages of this book. So I won’t say a lot.
I’ll also admit that Han and Leia’s story was probably the weakest, and very boring, and that Tahiri’s didn’t pick up until later, but at least it did.
Sean Williams and Shane Dix seemed to finally be writing what they actually wanted towards the end of the book, and you can tell.
Zonama Sekot is cool. The concept is cool, the description is cool, and I love that story.
I also really liked Jacen in this, there was a moment, very similar to many scenes in Doctor Who, where Jacen said he wouldn’t want to make Zonama Sekot fight for them, a really pivotal moment for his morality, and something I can heavily relate to. His pacifism, his ideology of trying to find an alternative to fighting at any cost is something I really love and aspire to.
Droma ended up way more interesting than I expected, but I prefer Leia being Han’s co-pilot, as it feels less like Chewie being replaced, but a progression of Han and Leia’s marriage, symbolising them getting even closer after Chewie’s death, like something good has come out of Anakin and Chewbacca dying, that Han and Leia have an irreplaceable bond now.
Jag LOVES Jaina! I really like this couple and hope we get more and more of them soon.
Pellaeon was just as sick as he was in the last book.
Overall, there are various ongoing stories in this book, and unfortunately, many are a slog to get through. But there’s some really good stuff in there too, and the conclusion to the book is really really solid too. It ended up being a very enjoyable read towards the end, but I can’t rate it too highly when considering its really mediocre beginnings.
6.5/10
