Book Summary:
We all like to focus on Thrawn's exploits after he joined the Empire. But what about before? What sort of danger did Thrawn get into (and out of) while he was still with the Chiss? Enter Thrawn Ascendancy to answer all of our questions.
The Chiss Ascendancy is in a moment of peace – more or less. But that peace is on the line, and Thrawn is one of the few to see where these fractures lie. Unfortunately, not everyone in the command is so inclined to listen to his plans.
My Review:
I knew that Chaos Rising would be good, but I had no idea how good it would be. Why did I wait this long to read it? The good news is that I have the next two novels of the trilogy in my hands, so the wait is officially over!
The Chiss have always been fascinating, at least to me. If you are also fascinated by Thrawn's people, you've got to read this book. Some of the facts will be incredibly informative. Likewise, the Chiss politics will be intriguing. I'll admit that the name of one group o Chiss (you can probably guess) made me laugh.
The best part about this book was how it delved into Chiss family politics. I had no idea it was so complex, but at the same time, I feel like I shouldn't be surprised. This, coupled with the multiple perspectives, made for a delightful read.
