The story isn't all that bad, but it doesn't really feel like Star Wars. This struck me as a random space/wilderness romance novel (minus the steamy scenes) that happened to have characters named Leia and Han and Luke in it. In a lot of ways, the universe of CoPL doesn't work by the same rules as Star Wars: A prince shows up asking to marry Leia. He's from another huge star empire that's never been mentioned before. The witches of Dathomir are Hollywood-issue tribal amazons. Check that, they're Hollywood-issue SINGING amazons because that's how the Force works, apparently. etc. etc. Despite all this, the story is relatively cohesive and well-paced. This might not be a great Star Wars novel, but it is a competent piece of writing. If you want something that has that Force-be-with-you feel to it, though, then pick up something by Timothy Zahn.Read full review
The Courtship of Princess Leia is the best hot mess you will ever read. It's THE magical realm, and it is arguably the first romance novel of Star Wars, complete with Fabio stand-in. Don't take it too seriously and come into it imagining Leia in that dress. Also there are no less than TWO female-dominant societies in this book.
Great story with action, interesting relationships, and exotic planets and a good ending- sadly missing from the newer NJO, DN, LOTF books. Allston and his colleagues should get out of the novo-tragedy genre and start writing stories with happy endings. One of the best SW books I've read.
This book has an interesting story line and several twists and turns that kept me interested. The ending was a little weak, but the story as whole was good.
Great Star Wars book! It's a good story that focus's on Han and Leia and is well written. It is a good Expanded Universe book.
