(Oddly, I did like Isolder in the Courtship of Princess Leia, but I think that's because we always knew that Isolder was doomed to fail. The narrative shilling was just dramatic irony, because Leia and Han were always going to be endgame, both based on the movies, and the fact that the Thrawn Trilogy took place later and had them married and pregnant.)
Not only that, while he wasn't as great as the narrative painted him us, he arguably ended up with someone far worse than him.
Which resulted in me having actual sympathy for him.
"That isn't a building," Maggie said. "It's a starship. All of the domes are starships." Orick looked over at Maggie. She wore a strange expression, one of both profound awe and conquest. He had never seen her so happy, so transformed by wonder. "And I know how they work."

At least it's not confused with a moon.
