Okay, just some brief comments ... 
 The good: Han and Leia who (view spoiler)[ finally get engaged (hide spoiler)]. The introduction of the Hapans, Dathomirians (or Dathomiri, as they're now called). The introduction of Prince Isolder and Teneniel Djo --if only for the reason that (view spoiler)[ they get married and their daughter, Tenel Ka is one of my favorite EU characters (hide spoiler)] 
 The bad: Han and Leia are a bit OOC (out of character) ... the "courtship" of Princess Leia is ... interesting, but not the best Star Wars book. If you're a Han and Leia fan, you might want to read this (if only to see what happens), but please don't take this book as the measure of all Star Wars novels ... Believe me, there are better ones out there. 
 The plot is ... well, it's ... interesting. =)
