A review by katbancroft
The Courtship of Princess Leia by Dave Wolverton
3.0
I liked this book in a "So bad it's good" kind of way. Cheesy? Without a doubt. Campy? Unabashedly. Far-fetched, even for Star Wars? You freakin' betcha. And yet, all the absurdity is sort of what made it fun. This book seemed to be written in the spirit of just about every Star Wars movie ever made: There are some glaringly obvious problems, but you're having such a good time it's hard to care.
All that said, I definitely enjoyed seeing more of Han and Leia's love story, even if this book isn't considered canon anymore. If we were ever graced with a newer, better-written story about Han and Leia, I would be all over it. In the meantime, I'll satisfy myself with this and be grateful that a Fabio-esque alien is no longer a canon love-interest to Leia.
