Thrawn: Treason

Executive Summary: I enjoyed this far more than the last book, but probably not quite as much as the first one.

Audiobook: Another fantastic audio book as always. Marc Thompson is a one man Star Wars universe and this is one of the few books where I don't mind music or sound effects.

Full Review
I don't do a lot of Star Wars books and before listening to the original Thrawn trilogy, I wasn't particularly interested in reading any to begin with. Thrawn is an intriguing character. In most cases he's been a villain but in this series it's more ambiguous.

He's still working for the Empire, but as he's fighting the rebels it's far easier to like and cheer for him and his crew. I'm not really sure how many Thrawn books this series is supposed to be, but this didn't really feel like an ending. Maybe that's because his story picks up in Star Wars Rebels, but I'm not sure this left off where that starts either.

Instead it both continues on the series and mostly feels like a stand alone story. We get more details on the Chiss Ascendancy, and get some background on well known Star Wars events.

Overall I found this an enjoyable story and I'd happily read another Thrawn book, but it adds little to the movies or TV. Like most of the books I've read it offers some back story to things you see on screen, but they are never going to put critical details that would leave those who don't read the books in the dark.
