Status Updates From The Hutt Gambit (Star Wars:...

Well, I no longer have much hope for the third book. I imagine it will be very much the same. However, there is a bit of novelty - I will be pausing the book to read the Brian Daley Solo Adventures when they come up in the story. Because she wrote this book to include them in the timeline of events. Not exactly sure how that will play out, but I'm mildly curious to see.

Finally done. That was arduous. The Vader cameo near the end was really stupid. Vader would not bother traveling all the way to the Outer Rim just to exchange one sentence with Greelanx and choke him out. We've already seen in Empire that he can do it remotely. Also, Vader would've sensed Han being in the next room. She just wanted her ooooh look Han came close to Vader moment. Dumb.

She just described the Y-wing as being swift, twice. So she doesn't know what the fuck she's talking about, then. Y-wing being slow bombers is basic knowledge. I guess that explains a lot about these books, if she doesn't know something so basic.

It's still bad. I just don't have anything specific to say. Waiting for this to be over. There's another book, so it won't be over for good, but at least I get to take a break during it to read the Solo Adventures trilogy.
