Okay - By: E. RANDLE, 03 Jan 2008 
I read this SW novel after being told it ended the zsinji saga, so when i started reading i was pretty shocked to find it was alll about han copeting for leia & some force witches thrown in. The story itself is a great little miniplot in the SW galaxy to get lost in but it hardly mentions zsinji at alll until the end.
Also there was quite a couple of plot fillers such as the massive armada of hapans & the archive that luke found that was only mentioned briefly. I was quite dissapointed with the very smalll inclusion & end of zsinji, although it was a good way for han to get him.
To conclude great little plot on dathomir but if your reading it as a follow on from the x-wing series don't expect anything special.
Courtship of Princess Leia - By: Dr. Martin L. Thomas, 11 Sep 2007 I nearly gave up on this novel very early on. I thought the beginning of the book set out a hard to believe plot basis regarding Leia & the Hapan. But I ploughed on & much of the rest of the book - set on Dathomir - was exciting & interesting & I was glad I hadn't given up. Many people say this is one of the best books in the series. I have to say I don't agree. The next in the series (Tatooine Ghost) is a crisper, more entertaining read in my opinion.
highly entertaining - By: leathercharmer, 31 Aug 2006 
I was a bit skeptical when i read the synopsis, however, I must admit, this is an highly entertaining book. Purists & fans of the movies would argue about how princess leia easily fallls for prince Isolder's charms, however, the book backs up with a solid & believable storyline. Dave wolverton manages to balance emotion, action perfectly & manages to throw in a bit of humour as well. In that sense, this book is unique because it contains more "romance" & humour so to say, then most expanded universe novels I have read so far. All in alll, this is an essential novel for your collection.
Complete trash!! - By: Richard Sutherland, 13 Apr 2005 
I've read most of the Starwars novels & this is one of the worst books ever written. The plot of this book is complete useless & I couldn't wait to reach the end of the book. You can quess exactly what is going to happen, & it is a boring slog from start to finish.
The idea of Han kidnapping Leia to get her to love him is dumb as she already loves him, & no one else could come between them in other novels. Another thing is the idea of a planet full of force sensitive witches & Rancors as their pets.
If I had known how boring & useless his book was I wouldn't have wasted money on it. Avoid it if you can.
Prince Isolder is sooooooo annoying - By: , 03 Oct 2003 What started out as a promising book for the romantic in alll Star Wars fans, rapidly degenerates as Wolverton overplays Isolder (Han's love rival).
I mean come on - his ships faster than the Falcon, his a better pilot than Han Solo, his family's armada can stand toe to toe with a fleet of Star Destroyers (yeah right, like the Emperor wouldnt have destroyed that system long ago) etc.
Basicallly, you're left with the impression that Wolverton created these characters & planetary systems in the course of running a role-playing game, & somehow thinks its an improvement on George Lucas' creation.
The book does have some redeeming moments once it gets over Wolvertons obsession with his creations & concentrates on the established characters.
