Thrawn: Alliances (Star Wars) (Star Wars: Thrawn)

I read the Kindle edition of Thrawn: Alliances.

As part of the new Disney canon for Star Wars, Thrawn: Alliances is the follow-up to Zahn's previous Star Wars: Thrawn novel.

Pairing Vader and Thrawn together, Emperor Palpatine sends the duo on a mission to investigate a disturbance in the Force in the Unknown Regions. Intertwined is another story in which Jedi General Anakin is on a personal mission in the same system to rescue Padme Amidala, in which he meets Commander Mitth'raw'nuruodo of the Chiss Acendency.

Once again, Zahn does a fantastic job of bringing out the feeling of his characters, and shows how brilliant Thrawn really is. I especially liked his internal dialog for Vader as he is reminded of their previous mission.

This is a must read for fans of Thrawn, and is recommended reading for all Star Wars fans. It would be helpful if you have previously read Thrawn or watched Star Wars: Rebels, just so you have some idea of who Thrawn is, and how special he is.

Recommended.

There are only a handful of people working on Star Wars projects in the post-Disney era that really know what they are doing. With Thrawn: Alliances,Timothy Zahn proves, once again, that he is one of those people who you can trust to create quality stories in the Star Wars universe.

This sequel to Thrawn follows the titular character in two eras: teaming up with Darth Vader in the Rebellion era (a story that, I think, takes place just before the final season of Rebels), and crossing paths with Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars (shortly after Ahsoka leaves the Jedi) as he searches for his missing wife. The interlocking stories reveal a deeper understanding of the Chiss' motivation for serving the Empire and how he protects his people at the same time.

If you've been watching Rebels, then I highly recommend reading this book for deeper insight into the character. You can almost hear the voice of Thrawn's voice-actor (who's name escapes me right now) with every word. It is a credit to the writers of the show that they emulated Zahn's speech patterns for Thrawn (or vice versa) so well.

If you are a fan of Clone Wars, I highly recommend this book just to see interaction between Anakin and Padme again!

And if you're a Star Wars fan I don't have to tell you that this is required reading because you already know that.

I love Zahn and Thrawn, but this book was a big disappointment. The plot was boring and very small in scope. And, the book switches back and forth in a very halting manner. Just not up to Zahn's normal quality.

This book works with both Animated series (The clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels), the previous novel and our curiosity to see these two heavy hitters working together. Is not like the EU, it it easy to read and follow, for the ones that started reading the del Rey Books after the Disney acquisition (that is not a bad thing, it is my casa)
