Thrawn is probably one of the coolest characters in Star Wars, and this gives him such a cool introduction to what’s now considered canon. As much as I love the rebels, Thrawn makes easy to root for the bad guys.

I really liked the book and it gives a great backstory on Thrawn and what he did to build himself up in the empire.

This was the first Timothy Zahn book I have read and it was amazing! I’m a huge fan of Thrawn and this book made me a even bigger fan

Good book

To those wondering if they should dedicate the time and money, just do it. Extremely well written, easily able to read, and also let’s you explore the star wars universe in new points of view than just through the Jedi and Sith. Politics to tactics, it was fun to read this adventure.

I never read the original Thrawn books, but I did know that he was a beloved character before being introduced to Rebels. While I enjoy Rebels, the tone of the show is definitely catered towards a younger audience. The Thrawn novels offer older fans a stronger sampling of mature storytelling. Eli is relatable and a unique Star Wars character in dealing with his imposter syndrome. I loved getting into Thrawn’s head and all of the surprising twists that followed. He is truly a compelling character. Any older Star Wars Rebels fans MUST read this trilogy. (I also enjoyed Governor Pryce making silly choices the whole book).

Since the finale of Rebels, I became interested in learning more of Thrawn; how he became a Grand Admiral, and how he’s the only non-human in the empire to achieve such a great rank. This book really got me invested and introduced me to more characters I ended up enjoying throughout the story. Really recommend if you’re interested in Thrawn’s past. Because of this book, he is my all time favorite Star Wars character.

Excellent novel, especially if you’re interested in learning about the beginnings of Grand Admiral Thrawn.

It was amazing to learn about Thrawn’s beginnings. The book is well written and was exciting. There were days I couldn’t wait to start reading.

One of the best characters in the Star Wars universe. Can’t wait to see him in a future film or series!! An excellent book that shows how smart and capable the Chiss are.
