A review by luvluke
Alliances by Timothy Zahn

4.0

While generally satisfied with this addition to the Thrawn lore, it felt more like a standalone story rather than a sequel to the impressive first Thrawn book. The flashbacks to the Anakin and Thrawn storyline were entertaining and felt like an episode of The Clone Wars, yet it became difficult to follow along to the two storylines without forgetting what had previously happened. Although I found the Nightswan mystery of the first book a lot more enticing than the mysteries portrayed in this book, it was still difficult to stop reading as the information of each mystery grew.
