There are other stories with this plot, but this was the first (as far as I know) and the best done one. It is, IMHO, very good.

 

I've been reading this for the past two hours - it's pretty good. It's not what I normally like, but strangely enough this story manages to captivates me.

So far, I'd give it a solid 4/5.

 

This story gets boring so fast.
Nothing happens but Leia getting more stronger and events happening.

I love the characterization but I have more fun reading simpler and lesser written stories due to things happening.

This is amazing thought, just boring.

 

What? Nothing happens except stuff happens?

I'm pretty sure I started reading this story a while ago, but I'm not sure why I stopped. I'll start re-reading this to see if anything jogs my memory, but it'll have to wait a bit.

 

Exactly.
The plot moves on but it is so slow that you stop caring.

 

Yes - the pacing is too slow. There is lot of action and dialogues, but the plot itself is pretty much stagnant. And considering the update rate and date since the story was published, I don't expect it to progress much further in the close future.

3.5/5 after finishing the last chapter.

The fascination with mechanics and swoop bike were 'too much' and out of place. A passion isn't transmitted genetically and I can't see how a eleven year old princess in Aldoraan would be allowed near such 'dangerous' engines. The 'shopaholic' part pissed me off. The author must have watched too much pre-teen/teen TV shows. *Star Wars is a serious universe*

 

I noticed that I didn't put my rating here when I posted it. 5/5

 

I enjoyed this fic immensely. It's just after a while I got sick of the things that the plot was following. The author has spent too much time on his current arc when it would've been better if they moved to the movie story lines instead.

Character portrayal is well done and it's definitely a decent read.

4/5

 

It goes on in parts, but the characters are good and it has nice fights and Grey!Leia. It just sort of sucks you in, but I wish it would go somewhere.

4/5
