Exile by Aaron Allston
3.0
Warning in this book for use of Blackface.
Unless I've missed something The Millenium Falcon does not have turbolasers. Which is maybe a bit nitpicky, but I think I've seen Alston do this before in x-wing books, and in Star wars the technology is pretty important, a laser cannon and a turblaser cannon are very different and slipups happen, but it seems to happen a lot in this book.
Also the use of blackface, and oh she's pretty and not wearing makeup thats how you know shes a catch lines are just very bad.
The plot itself is decent I can't say that I didn't enjoy the book overall, but these elements just pull you out of the story either by confusion or disgust.
Overall an okay story, could do without the women have to be pretty but can't fool me into thinking they're pretty with makeup, and with white characters disguising themselves with blackface.
