Thrawn: Alliances by Timothy Zahn

adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I was planning on taking a break after the first Thrawn, but decided to start the 2nd one just to get a taste... once I saw it was a Vader + Thrawn book I couldn't put it down! Shit was crazy. First one was better comparatively, but this one was still super good. The new Tie fighters were literally PROPOSED in the new Tales of the Empire series that was released less than a week ago so that was cool seeing that the Empire actually did end up using them. Ugh I guess I gotta read the 3rd one now, and I think the newer Thrawn trilogy takes place before this trilogy?? So much mystery around the Chiss that I'm dying to hear about how Thrawn became Thrawn b4 the Empire. The dual Thrawn + Anakin and Thrawn + Vader was super interesting. I like Thrawn?? am i supposed to??? idk we'll see what he does in book 3. treason.........
