I loved the original “Thrawn Trilogy” as an adolescent, and love how Timothy Zahn, his original creator, was tapped to reincorporate this “beloved villain” into the new canon. It’s like meeting an old friend but learning new things about him. I’m excited to read the rest.
The story drags slightly near the end, but it brings you back into the world of Thrawn’s military genius. “Long live the Empire!”
