Preface: I've read 90+% of the Star Wars Legends books.

Star Wars: Bloodlines is by far the best book I've read from the new Star Wars continuity. It pulls the right strings for Space Opera, has a healthy blend of influence from the original trilogy as well as the Legends material.

I like how this book portrays Leia. It gives her a proper badass vibe, as both a powerful political figure as well as a war hero.
