By the Emperor's Hand by Michael A. Stackpole
4.0
I kept going back and forth if I wanted to give this a 3/5 or a 4/5 (WHEN WILL GR TAKE THE HINT AND LET US HAVE HALF STARS?!). I love the Star Wars Legends Expanded Universe and I'll forever be salty over the fact that Disney basically tossed it aside when they could have had both universes going. After all how many AUs are there in Marvel comics?
The good parts of this comic are really good. But there is a lot of filler which kind of drags and being inside Mara's head so long doesn't really work since it's often not her thoughts but her commentary on the situation itself - or her explaining what she has to do.
I still love her and find her fascinating so putting this as a 4/5 because I'm biased even though Papa George apparently didn't like her oh well.
