Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy (Book III: Lesser Evil)

A fantastic story!! I so wish there were more of these books. Timothy Zan has a great way of building tension without pulling from the story. He uses the limitations of the tech available to the characters to enhance and draw more attention in to the books story. My only complaint is that sometimes the audio is too quiet for Thrawns talk during a climatic fight. the music and other commanders shouting makes it to where you either can't hear thrawn, or you're blasting your ears when the action takes place around him. Other than that, it's one of the best audio books I've ever heard.

I don't care what anybody says this book doesn't feel like Star Wars at all. It's the new watered down Disney version. I've always loved Thrawn but this book is way too long and boring, I had to skip to the last 3 chapters. Its so pointless on so many levels. waste of my time, I miss the old Star Wars. Plus, they could've told this story all in one book instead of a trilogy but they wanted to squeeze as much money from people as they could just so we could see how Thrawn got exiled.

Listen to the audio book several times ... it's a safe story and answered some pending questions. The book has exciting parts and overall OK. Compared to other volumes, expected more edgy plots... not safe, cliché plots from previous volumes. Book III has some lacking character growth and evolution...possibly should be multiple books. Some characters seemed either extremely naive or extremely psychotic. Characters devolve mentally and are stupidly unbelievable. Almost no maturity due to previous experiences.
