Chapter 4. I no longer fear death.
Han is an abuser. Isolder is a stalker. And Leia has to place a long-distance call to her brother so HE can explain her emotions to her.
The FARM BOY needs to explain emotions to the professional SENATOR and AMBASSADOR.
Also, women be bitches, apparently.

That said, Chapter 12 does have the other thing I remember about this book: Luke Skywalker FREEFALLING FROM ORBIT and using the Force to land safely, and fucking Isolder looking up and thinking "Huh... wonder if that's how his ancestors got their family name."
Fuckin' himbo.
Fuckin' himbo.

The book keeps swerving between Isolder being a cool ex-pirate and soldier and a sheltered woobie baby boy who don't know nothin'. It's a... choice.

Chapter 6. Han gives Leia an ENGAGEMENT PLANET (that he just won in a card game) and she’s like “nah, wrong school district.”
The central conflict of the book thus far is that the New Republican needs money and Isolder is loaded, but Han can casually win an ENGAGEMENT PLANET on 4 hours’ notice.

Isolder shows up and says "we're engaged now" (from the matriarchy, mind you) and Leia just says "Well, I guess so..."
Han kidnaps her and she just... shrugs and makes him cook dinner.
Her most proactive contribution is starting the Falcon's engines when someone else tells her to.

That said, the story is a mess. The first third of the book all feels high-drama but goes nowhere. We're introduced to Leia's Alderaanian re-settlement crisis. We're introduced the Hapan political intrigue. We find out Isolder and his bodyguard have a thing.
None of that goes anywhere.

The canon for how Leia and Han got married needed to be *good*--and I'm here for the idea of a rom-com ending in a marriage. Clearly Dave Wolverton (RIP) had the same idea. But despite some truly incredible flashes--Isolder getting seduced by Djo is shockingly...sexy?--it's horribly executed on.

Into Chapter 11 at this point, wherein we discover that Isolder is SUPER gay for Han Solo, though I don't think the author realizes that.
Also, we discover what truly makes a matriarchy: Basing everything you do on what you think men want and winning their approval and attention. Naturally.

We also get more insight into Hapan gender relations, including that pithy old saying “Never let a man become so deluded as to believe that he is the intellectual equal of a woman. It only leads him to evil.”
Rolls off the tongue.
An Isolder notes how his mother is being “seductive.”

Legends character of the day: Ta'a Chume
She was the Queen Mother of the Hapes Consortium and mother of Prince Isolder. Her life was one full of schemes, plots and politics.

Chapter 12 also features our Gary-Stu, Isolder, boggled by the idea that Luke treats everyone with basic respect.
The guy the book has been selling as this big sweety-poo doesn't understand the concept of... baseline empathy. That would've made for a healthy marriage, I'm sure.

Chapter 12.
We're not good, book.
When a girl character is smart, pretty, athletic, skilled, and has magic powers, her name becomes a joke for ridiculously over-the-top self-insert.
But when Isolder does it, it's fine.
He's force-sensitive. And Luke wants to teach him cuz he's so cool.

I'm literally reading a book where Han Solo is a colonizing, xenophobic jerk who hates women and literally kidnaps Leia, shoves her into the floor of the Falcon, and puts millions of lives at risk b/c he got butt hurt over Isolder treating her with actual respect but go on about the new characters

agreeing. as a 90s Star Wars kid, you could enjoy the original unaltered movies and then if you were a real sicko, you could find out who Qwi Xux, Kyp Durron, Mara Jade, and Prince Isolder were
