The book is really slow paced and suffers from sometimes very long and boring chapters. The entire book is more or less just setup for the next two novels and it drags on and on. It is interesting how much of the stuff that is established in this book was Retconed just a few years later. Han Solos Childhood on Corellia, the absence of Corsec, Landos annoyance by Droids, especially R2 and 3PO even tho he worked together with them just a year prior in the later published Black Fleet crisis is definitely interesting to see. Still this book was the first time the Corellia system with its Five Planets and the Centerpoint station was explored. Almost all of it became relevant again in the New Jedi Order, Legacy of the force and Fate of the Jedi Series. This trilogy also was the first time the Solo kids became more than just kidnapped plot devices. The two major Storylines about Han, Leia and their Kids travelling to Corellia and Landos search for a Woman to marry are definitely fun to read, even tho definitely products of their time with Lando being the most straight dude ever, which does not fit his character at all. The story takes a long while to really start tho and the climax and cliffhanger feel a bit rushed. It's still a great start for a fun trilogy and since the story itself becomes important later on one of the Bantam book Trilogies that are definitely worth reading and it has one of the sadly very few poc main characters in Star Wars Legends. Belindi Kalenda deserves more attention.
