WARNING, THESE REVIEWS ARE FOR THE WHOLE SERIES. I took #2 out thinking it was book #1 based on reviews found here. Make sure you grab the title you want.

This is a really cool book. It’s the first of a trilogy, but unlike the other books in the series, a person doesn’t need more than a general knowledge of Star Wars in order to read it. The experience is obviously enhanced by knowing more…

Star wars : Empire Grand Admiral Thrawn the new origin of his fan- Favorite Villain
Jul 04, 2022AMB_4 rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
This book takes Thrawn where we knew he was headed, to a showdown with the Grysk, who have indeed infiltrated the Empire, and it really made me wonder about Thrawn's Force sensitivities, or lack thereof. Once again, Thrawn is able to stay…

I'm not sure why BiblioCommons is posting my review of the first book in the Thrawn series under this title, but it is. Here's my review of Thrawn: Alliances: Ok, loving this series! This book in particular shows that Thrawn is a…

Review of first Thrawn book. BiblioCommons is posting my review under Alliances, not sure why. Thrawn: I loved this book and I can't wait to read the other two in the series. I've been hearing from Star Wars fans for a while that they…

Yet another magnificent entry by Timothy Zahn. The character of Thrawn has always stood among my favourites, and seeing the Heir to the Empire back in action is truly awesome. Thrawn (the book this time) shows a small glimpse into the…

Every chapter starts with a monologue that reminds me of the teachings of SunTzu mixed with keen observation of human nature. I knew Thrawn from Disney+ Clone War series, but Mr. Zahn's work fleshed out the character quite a bit. It is…

Ever since I first saw Thrawn on star wars rebels, I was fascinated by him. I wanted to learn more about this interesting blue-skinned and crimson eyed alien. While conducting further research after finishing rebels I discovered that there…

Two stories brilliantly intertwined. We see Anakin Skywalker meet and team up with Thrawn for the first time during the Clone Wars, and Vader and Thrawn working together years later for the good of the Empire. I LOVED this book. It only…

Least violent of the series, or no flesh & blood casualties felt from TIE fighters, space shuttles, Grysk warships and captives. More suspenseful, esp on Eli's mission with Ronan and death troupers surrounded by pirates...that Mole…

It is a bit of a shame that Zahn had to revisit the Thrawn character to fit the Disney canon, because I find the new character of Thrawn to be lacking in some of his previous ruthlessness. However, Thrawn remains one of the most compelling…

For Thrawn, less for “Skywalker”. Formulaic even predicable, nevertheless fascinating. Non-human (Chiss) mind is more intriguing, whom Force may never be with. In a universe Robots(weaponry) are ruled and dependent upon, I believe cortosis…

Thrawn remains one of the best characters in the Star Wars universe, so I was pleased to hear there will be EVEN MORE books, some to find out why he ended up working for the Empire, and some others to suss out what's going on with the…

Timothy Zahn paints the picture of Grand Admiral Thrawn and his origin story as one of star wars's greatest villans who at the same time is not a villain, but rather the one admiral who cares about how his actions will effect the innocents.

We all know by now how terrifyingly methodical, how intelligent, how creative, resourceful and cunning Thrawn is. And we all know how terrifying and physically powerful Darth Vader is. So, the only question, the one that this book answers,…

I loved this book. Very character driven. Did not see the ending coming.

It was a decent story, but not having watched Rebels, I was a little out of the loop. I was also hoping they would bring in a bit more from the end of the last THrawn novel to see what the Chiss are up to, but ultimately, it worked. It…

Great story on one of the more interesting characters from the Star Wars Universe.

This is one of those books that leaves you feeling that you WANTED to like it more than you actually did. The structure of jumping back and forth between how Thrawn and Anakin Skywalker first encountered each other during the late stages…

Easily the worst Star Wars book out to date. Wow, this was just soooo boring. Not interesting at all. I got to about 30 pages to the end and just asked myself, "What am I doing wasting my time with this slog." I hate to write this, but…

For some reason, this comment section is the same for Thrawn and Thrawn: Allegiances. I guess I'll review both books here? Thrawn is a fantastic origin story of one of the most beloved Star Wars villains. Longtime fans will find many…

Thrawn: Alliances is a good sequel to Thrawn. I actually liked it a lot better than Thrawn. This book starts a little bit after the third season of Star Wars Rebels. It switches between Darth Vader and Thrawn working together in the…
