The dying Empire’s most cunning and ruthless warlord—Grand Admiral Thrawn—has taken command of the remnants of the Imperial fleet and launched a massive campaign aimed at the New Republic’s destruction. Meanwhile, Han and Lando Calrissian race against time to find proof of treason inside the highest Republic Council—only to discover instead a ghostly fleet of warships that could bring doom to their friends and victory to their enemies.

I need to be honest and admit that this book is one of the best star wars books I’ve read so far.

This book is very interesting, intriguing, engaging and a page turner. This book has around 450 pages (depends on what version of this book you get) but I’ve read it in less than a day. 

If you never read any star wars book before, then this book might not be for you because we get new characters and there will be a lot to take in.

The plot in this book is amazing. There is a lot of action and the author just knows how to keep you at the edge of your chair. While you read this book you just can’t stop reading because you want to learn more about what happens next.

However at times the plot can be one centred about something, but it didn’t bother me that much. Because for me it made this book better at times.

The characters in this book are amazing. The OG characters like Luke, Leia, Han and Chewbacca are even better in this book than in the movies. Because we get to learn more about them which the movies didn’t show us. And we get to know them more personally and we get to see what happens to them after the movies.

When it comes to Grand Admiral Thrawn, this book fully shows why he deserves a much bigger hype than he has. because he is extremely efficient and mastermind on military tactician.

The writing style in this book is amazing, because it feels like the author knows what words to use to crab your full attention and not let it go until you finish this book. Which I love when this happens because it takes a really good author to accomplish that. 

This book also gives us the star wars nostalgia for us who grow up watching star wars movies. Because it has the same feeling as the original trilogy had, and it also keeps us waiting on what will happen next just as the original trilogy.

We get a lot of perspectives in this book. We get to follow Luke, Han, Leia and Mara. Because of this we get to know the story though different perspectives which in so big universes as star wars is always a good thing to have.

I Give This Book 5 / 5
