These books have a tendency to flip into gear after spending some time on wheel spinny world building, but this one is definitely taking a little longer to turn over.  Sure, Luke and Leia have basically switched places now, and Threepio and Artoo are just jumping from one spaceship to the next, but still!  Go faster, book!

Stuff happened this time, so I guess this is just that kind of book that wants to chill for a while before doing anything.

Han arrives on the planet Nim Drovis and…Okay, now we know what’s going on.  Han is wandering around for basically no reason while Threepio tapes bells to his head and meets a bat.  Luke and Leia ponder.  Oh god they won’t stop pondering.

Han arrives on the planet Nim Drovis and… I dunno, I guess he meets a giant flower or something.  If this book has a point I’d love to see it.

Han rescues some survivors of a terrifying (and only tangentially related) spaceship crash, with Chewie and Lando in tow!  Meanwhile Leia and Luke stay on course of learning the same bits of the mystery at the same speed in two different chapters at a time.

Artoo pulls off a daring escape attempt while Threepio bumbles artlessly about.  Luke’s life is basically an Evanescence song you guys.  Leia is on drugs.

Well okay so basically Luke finds out this planet is basically all Mad Maxy and that it’s mostly just a big crystal desert with weird bugs.  Han hangs around in a fancy apartment that used to belong to Party Times Palpatine and thinks about how bangable Luke’s old girlfriend is, and while all this is happening, Threepio is falling victim to some droid rules we’ve never heard before.

Holy cow this book takes a lot of time to say a little stuff.  We do our best to fill time here but we are in the presence of a true master.  Leia wakes up and Luke crashes.  Still no sight of the promised Han/Lando pairing.

Here we go again.  It’s a tale of ancient history and way too much information as we orbit the mysterious Nam Chorios.  Who’s Seti Ashgad?  How is every Skywalker so universally bad at relationship stuff?  Couldn’t you just cover any droid with meat, really?
