Review of 'Star wars' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

While I find some flaws in Zahn's prose, I really enjoyed the plotting. It felt like an organic continuation of this story. Weirdly, if I wish there were more changes to the final draft, it's regarding Mara Jade. Intriguing character, but the reveal about her past oddly lacked atmosphere. It's about as far from the Revelation in Cloud City as you can get. Knowing what I know about where Mara goes next, I kind of wish her obsession with Luke wasn't this...one-dimensional, but I'm still intrigued to see how Zahn develops her further.
