Timothy Zhan for the win! His books in the Star Wars Legends (Expanded Universe) are by far the the best! And this one delivers. Going into this book, didn’t realize it was a heist story, but it was great. A little slower compared to some of the other Star Wars Legends books I read like (X-Wing, Thrawn and Old Republic) but still pretty good!
The best part was honestly all the other characters, like Bink and Tavia ,they were super smart and hands down the smartest on the crew, I mean they literally are the ones who broken into the vault Rachele was really cool, I like how she was loyal and close with Han
It was very cool seeing Winter in there, she is pretty prominent through out the other Legends books,but is was nice seeing her in a different role.
Another cool part about this story, was the time frame, right between Ep. IV and Ep V,this really comes into play because Lando does not own Cloud City yet and Winter doesn’t know Leia is alive yet.
The back forth between all the interested partiestrying to get into the vault was funny, the imperial angle, Hans scoundrels and Villachor trying to figure out what is going on, haha
The coolest part by far was whenHan and Rachele are telling the group about Eanjer, and how he had really been dead the whole time! And then in end, Eanjer turn out to be Boba Fett! Just wild ending. It does suck they didn’t get the whole loot though.
Also, very happy with that with all of the people who gotkidnapped, Bink, Tavia, Lando, and even Han at one point, no got tortured or killed
The story feels like an extended cut scenes from the end of Ep. Iv, the book is funny, smooth and full of Star Wars charm. The only thing I would have like to see is a romance subplot even if it was subplot to the subplot, a good romance is always fun to read. But overall great story!
