Characters

[Aaron, Jedi Master]

Bloodline added a number of new characters into the Star Wars canon as well as gave us insights into existing characters. How did you like the new characters? Did you feel like characters like Han and Leia met your expectations?

[Daniel]

Han and Leia were great in Bloodline. It made them being apart in TFA seem much more real and realistic than it had just going in to the movie with no backstory on their relationship.

Korr Sella was a bit of a gut punch since we knew her fate the entire time. Good character but kinda tragic due to the outcome. Definitely made the Hosnian Prime scene matter more.

Joph was a good character but Greer was really more the focus which led to some great character development.

Rinnrivin Di seemed like a good if not terribly fleshed out crime lord.

[Derek]

I'm listening to the audio book and the voices are so terrible it's making me hate all the characters.

[Scott]

I've gotta say I enjoyed her performance overall too. Her Leia was spectacular, but I will concede that some weren't as awesome. Her Han, for instance, left much to be desired, but overall a great performance. I think much of that had to do with a woman doing a man's voice, but it doesn't work well in the other direction either. Lol

[Douglas]

Was going to say the same as Scott. It's rare that narrative performers can execute opposite gender characters without it sounding like parody or caricature. I suspect that men can accept someone like a Marc Thompson affecting a feminine voice easier and women the opposite.

[Derek]

I was going to compare her to Marc Thompson lol.. I did not like her Leia, it sounded like she was doing a man doing a female voice. The Han and 3p0 is what ruined it. I would rather hear January just read the book without the characters voices.. I just got the hard copy, I think it will sound better in my own head.

[Derek]

I miss the books when they would get different people to do different voices.

[Aaron, Jedi Master]

Overall I thought the audio book was great. The narrator did a perfect Leia and was great as Casterfo and Rinnrivin Di. Her take on Han and Joph were a little off for me

Yeah, She struggled a little with some of the male characters.
Joph was cringingly bad.

I am currently reading Bloodlines and I love it, I think that the characters are portrayed amazingly.

[Maude]

I will say in the beginning it was a little disappointing but I liked the rest.

[Karen]

I really liked her narration in Lost Stars and Bloodline carried that on, I finished it in a couple of afternoons, very entertaining.
