"While no longer canon, I still think any Star Wars fan should absolutely put this on their to read list. Thrawn truly is a fan favorite for a reason and the whole book is so unique and all around well crafted. I really hope to see some of this plot come up in canon because it's too good to leave behind!"

"Truly a work of art. Every character and scene is crafted so well, and Thrawn as a villain makes the empire feel so much more of a threat. Arguably one of the best Star Wars Books of all time. "

"This is what the sequel trilogy should have been. This is set after return of the Jedi, where it follows the Original Trilogy characters trying to rebuild the republic, the Jedi."
