Review: Star Wars: Thrawn

Star Wars: Thrawn Star Wars: Thrawn by Timothy Zahn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Chapter-Start-Musings remind me of The Art of War (which I consider greatly overhyped).

Great book for Star Wars fans. Will certainly read the sequels, the second Thrawn: Alliances bought after it was under my usual price barrier (flexible, but most times Eur 10, which is currently nearly exact Us$ 11). The third book is on my daily watchlist.
Although most of the action is viewed from the POV of the empire, knowing all movies and/or some of the other books helps.
Very well integrated in the Star Wars Universe. And the characters are just to die for, complex, well written, and they learn constantly and grow during the path they take in the book.

Recommend it, Space-Opera at its best, although for non-Star-Wars-fans it will be not as good. Reasonably fast read, with an interesting ending, which is not really a cliff-hanger, but rather a twist (or really two!), which will make the sequel and the path the main characters take rather interesting.
