How’s the new Thrawn trilogy, anybody here read it? Is it PT/ST influenced, how’s the writing etc.? Would you recommend them?
The first one was great. The writing is some of Zahn’s best. Governor Pryce from SW Rebels is in it, but it doesn’t matter if you’ve seen the series or not and her arc works well on its own. A fair amount of PT stuff in it as it takes place between ROTS and ANH, but mostly just in reference to droids and certain vehicles, etc. The book even reused large parts of Thrawn’s Legends origin story.
The second one (Thrawn: Alliances) was fun for the most part, but was very limited by its position between two seasons of Rebels. Half of it takes place during the Clone Wars where Thrawn teams up with Anakin, and later Padme. The “present day” plot line is a Vader/Thrawn team up.
The third one (Thrawn: Treason) was IMO just dull. Some fun parts with the Chiss, but overall it just felt like filler and it was again limited by its canonical placement, this time between two Rebels episodes.
I’d say definetely read the first one, but the other two are skippable, though the Vader/Thrawn team up has its fun moments.
