this is a classic and there really isn't much to say that hasn't already been said. I only docked one star because Thrawn isn't actually smart, at least not consistently. He's alternately smart and stupid as the plot demands and his strategies really don't make sense if you actually think about them.

It’s not for me. I did like this more ruthless version of Thrawn though. But this book mostly focuses on Luke, Leia, Han, and a few characters made up for the book. Very unpopular opinion but I’m not a huge fan of the og trilogy crew, and I really didn’t like the new characters. Especially Mara Jade. Maybe it was because I listened to the audiobooks and couldn’t stand the voice the narrator gave her.. everything she said was in the tone of a constantly annoyed angsty teenager… it got annoying really fast.
Plot wise I had a hard time keeping track of everything. There was a lot of filler, too. It’s a relatively fast-medium paced book but it felt slow because of the filler (and the fact that I was just bored). I also didn’t like the whole pregnant Leia thing. Just a personal thing but I really don’t like reading about pregnancy and motherhood. I will say though she remained a badass all throughout her pregnancy so props to her.
I’m just here for Thrawn let’s be real.
