This might have been a three and a half star, really. It wasn't GOOD- even for an EU book, which I generally really enjoy. I found myself really struggling with the beginning chapters- there was so much melodrama with the flashbacks to tiny!Han, and it was obvious that the author doesn't understand children. But as we moved further into the story, I found myself more engrossed. The tension is very well done, and I'm sure the people on the bus enjoyed my face journeys as I read all the twists and turns. At the end of the day, I'd would say I enjoyed myself, but this is not among my favorite Star Wars books.
