A satisfying end, although less than I'd hoped for this conclusion of the Chiss Ascendancy trilogy.

While Greater Good suffered from middle book syndrome, Lesser Evil clearly marks the end of the Chiss arc. From the beginning, you know that Thrawn will tangle with Jixtus, and he does. The politics also come to the breaking point between the families, showing just how much the Ascendancy is fractured.

But it didn't feel as good as I'd hoped to finish this. Yes, it gives us the jumping point for Thrawn in the Empire (and I for one cannot wait to read those books now that I know more about the guy), but the chapter isn't completely closed either.

The Grysks are still out there and we still know nothing about them.

From what I know of Thrawn (which is only what we saw in Rebels, to be fair), I don't see how these things come together. So that kinda left me hungry for an actual conclusion.

I guess the original Thrawn trilogy will answer that question, or at least I strongly hope it does. I also wonder if we will get Thrawn's POV in those since we never got it here...
