About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
You are cordially invited to the wedding of Princess Leia Organa and Han Solo.
The Death Star is destroyed. Darth Vader is dead. The Empire is desolated. But on the forest moon of Endor, amongst the chaos of a changing galaxy, time stands still for a princess and her scoundrel.
After being frozen in carbonite, then risking everything for the Rebellion, Han is eager to stop living his life for other people. He and Leia have earned their future together, a thousand times over. And when he proposes to Leia, it's the first time in a long time he's had a good feeling about this. For Leia, a lifetime of fighting doesn't truly seem over. There is work still to do, penance to pay for the dark secret she now knows runs through her veins. Her brother, Luke, is offering her that chance - one that comes with family and the promise of the Force. But when Han asks her to marry him, Leia finds her answer immediately on her lips.... Yes.
But happily ever after doesn't come easily. As soon as Han and Leia depart their idyllic ceremony on Endor for their honeymoon, they find themselves on the grandest and most glamorous stage of all: the Halcyon, a luxury vessel on a very public journey to the most wondrous worlds in the galaxy. Their marriage, and the peace and prosperity it represents, is a lightning rod for everyone in the galaxy—including Imperial remnants still clinging to power.
Facing their most desperate hour, the soldiers of the Empire have dispersed across the galaxy, retrenching on isolated worlds vulnerable to their influence. As the Halcyon travels from world to world, one thing becomes abundantly clear: the war is not over. But as danger draws closer, Han and Leia find that they fight their best battles not alone but as husband and wife.

"What is the point of power if I can't use it to save the people I love." What a powerful quote from Leia when thinking of using the Force. In fact, her relationship to the Force and her contemplation on being Anakin's daughter. She displays so many aspects of Anakin's personality, even yelling, "I HATE YOU," at the funeral pyre of Vader.
Han can be profound when he really thinks through things. I wasn't super surprised by this, but I love how this book fleshes out his character.
Anyway, as you can see, I LOVED this book.
I LOVED this book (I say in a singsong voice)
