This is a a brand new adventure post Fate of the Jedi featuring Han and Leia primarily. It's not a requirement for readers to have read all of the previous Fate of the Jedi series because the major plot points are mentioned in this book. However, there are references to the Mortis episodes in the Clone Wars tv series that would be useful to have watched for things to make total sense.
I have very much enjoyed the post Return of the Jedi books that extend out what happens in the Star Wars universe. Crucible is nice because it focuses on an emotional journey for Han Solo and we get to be privy to more of the thought processes going on in his head in emotional situations instead of him just being portrayed as the wisecracking sidekick. It's also nice that Denning acknowledges that the characters are aging and not forever young. I'm not 100% on board with the metaphysical elements of the Force that have been introduced in the past few books but I'm reserving judgement until I see how it all plays out.
