There are plenty of sites that do reviews. You can find them on Amazon, Goodreads and Youtube. But so far as I know, none of them are focused on the continuity of the original Star Wars expanded universe. That is my aim, to judge it not only on whether I liked the story but how well did it fit with everything else. While each story may stand alone, there may be callbacks to other stories that you might enjoy reading, or stories following that used a simple throwaway element from that story for a whole new tale! I try and list those so you know where to look.
