I absolutely had a good time reading this story. It did exactly what is was supposed to do...with these beloved characters.
Han Solo, Chewie, Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, R2-D2 and C3PO were what we expected.
My favourite character in this story was obviously Han. Like in the first book in this duology, Razor's Edge by Martha Wells...Princess Leia was the favourite character...and this book was a lot of fun.
Han was his scoundrel self. He was arrogant, but not to the point that you'd hate him for it. He was the loveable smuggler type trying to do good for the rebellion (but also having qualms with authority...as he should).
I liked Scarlett. She was just enough to put Han Solo off his game a bit, but not too much. She was a great character to play off of (for both Han and Princess Leia...for she knows what's going on).
The adventure they were on was just the right amount of difficult, but not absurdly ridiculous. There was the right amount of feints and betrayals (for there always has to be someone(s) that is in it for themselves).
It was a good duology overall, too. It adds to the lore of our beloved heroes, but also doesn't upset any/much from any other writer's forward/backward progress during this time of the Extended Universe.
I really do love reading Legends books. Wish I had read more of them BEFORE the Disney acquisition, but there is still a LOT of great stories there.
I think my next foray into Legends...is actually reading the Prequel trilogy (which is actually Canon). That should be fun.
