Book Summary:
Grand Admiral Thrawn has made a place for himself in the Empire – against all the odds. Yet he still faces struggles – such as those trying to steal his funding for his TIE-defender program. Stealing in the bureaucratic sense, that is.
In a (planned) gamble to access this funding, Thrawn has agreed to a bet. He will solve a problem that others have struggled to deal with – or he will lose this funding. In true Thrawn fashion, he quickly proves that the problem is not as everyone else assumed.
My Review:
Oh, Thrawn, don't ever change. (But seriously, I'm not even sure he can). Thrawn: Treason is every bit the story I had been hoping for, and I regret that it took me this long to get around to reading it.
I adored the politics in this book and all the careful planning that came to the surface. Likewise, I was pleasantly surprised by all the perspectives this novel offered. Some were obvious appearances, but others were less expected, and I liked the change.
This book left me with so many questions. Questions upon questions! Though it also answered some questions – mainly those circulating the conclusion of Star Wars: Rebels (if you haven't watched that show, please consider it!).
I think I will need to set aside some time to read the next Thrawn trilogy, and I think I need to do so ASAP. Not only do I have questions (as already stated), but I feel (hope) that it might become relevant to the movie/show universe very soon.
Highlights:
