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.
