Star Wars EU: Hard Merchandise
Nov. 5th, 2004 02:17 pmI won't bother to hide my dissection of Hard Merchandise. There isn't enough of it to warrant taking that step to avoid boring people who aren't interested.
I will never, ever pick up The Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy again, except perhaps to check page numbers for a reference, and that could probably be easier done at one of the Star Wars websites. The Kuat of Kuat sections of the book were mildly interesting, and I enjoyed the further glimpse into the fates of Kud'ar Mub'at and Balancesheet, but the rest was so dull I kept having to reread pages in order for what scraps of plot there were to sink in. This whole trilogy read like one book, padded out with enough repeated ponderings, political machinations, and tedious dialogue to multiply the page count times three. *snzkxxz*
Wha..? Sorry. I almost fell asleep just thinking about it again. Enough said.
Next up: The Truce at Bakura.
