This
might be the best new canon depiction of Princess Leia to date. The
others were barely resembling the on-screen heroine and in worst
cases were doing her a massvie dishonor. So, this being Leia's book,
is a major advantage. The story itself is pretty solid, even when
the second part is not very exciting and the third part got very
preachy. The first chapter is, where the book strikes gold and that
chapter earned this book the fourth star. It really great and sets
up the events of Return of the Jedi pretty neatly in
motion. I would not say, that this is a proper replacement for
Shadows of the
Empire but yet another worthwhile puzzle in the grand scheme of
the new canon.
