Der zweite Band der Trilogie hat mir schon ein Stück besser gefallen als der erste, denn wir haben Chewie, Lando, Boba, schwangere Hutts und sehr viel weniger Romantik. Überhaupt denke ich, dass Bria nun wirklich ihr eigenes Buch verdient! Und dass diese Trilogie sehr viel besser zu Han Solo passt als der Film damals.
Da sich dieses Buch praktisch direkt an den ersten Teil anschliesst, empfehle ich dringend, mit dem ersten Band zu beginnen. Ansonsten geht mensch in der ganzen Handlung verloren.

Absolutely loved Paradise Snare (1st book in this trilogy). Enjoyed this one but lost interest a few times. Overall loved how this author portrays Han,Lando, and Chewie. By the end of the book I was definitely excited to read the final book, Rebel Dawn.

This book really had me spinning.
I wanted to re-write the story. The story itself was cool. The dialogue for Han Solo and everybody else was god-damn-awful. This is what you get when someone decides to heavily base their dialogue off of what you hear Han Solo say in the films... even to the point where it's lifted word-for-word. Another reviewer made a comment saying that the fault with this (and these) book(s) is that they never seem to 'develop' Han or Han never comes out naturally. He's horribly forced to the point where he seems too much like a bland copy of his film self.
All of Han Solo's girlfriends are one-dimensional nobodies that when they enter the scene and leave him you can't tell the difference who was who. EXCEPT BRIA. BRIA IS SO ANNOYING. The fact that Han fell for her is just crazy. She literally has nothing interesting about her and turns Han into a mopy bratty prince of smugglers.
All the characters were completely off from their film counterparts. Don't get me started on how Boba Fett was 'captured' by Lando and Han at one point. Like Boba Fett would mess up like that? Bull.
I gotta finish this series because I already invested my time into it. I'm not looking forward to the last book.

2.5 if I could.
This book is mostly pretty dull with routine smuggler stuff and internal Hutt politics. Some of the dialogue is rather poorly written, and the book was mainly saved by a decently-written space battle at the end that lasts about 40 pages or so. I'll continue to book 3 since I liked book 1, but I don't see myself re-reading this one.
