Dark Force Rising: Star Wars Legends (The Thrawn Trilogy) (Star Wars: the Hand of Thrawn, 2)

Product Information

Readers like their villains to be a challenge to the heroes because that forces the heroes to bring their best game to the field. The more clever the opponent, and the more difficult the fight, the more satisfying the victory. [14] So after two canonical trilogies — The Ascendancy Trilogy and The Imperial Trilogy— some might be wondering: is Zahn facing potential creative burnout with writing his favorite alien art aficionado? It doesn’t sound like it, as he says that he’s interested in exploring the gap in the timeline between where we last saw him at the end of Rebels (spoiler alert: captured by the Jedi Padawan Ezra Bridger and the Purrgil who launched his ship into hyperspace) to his reintroduction in Ahsoka (where he’s not seen with Ezra and appears to be far away from any space whales): Lo de Han y Lando también es interesante, además de ser con ellos con los que aprendemos sobre La Fuerza Oscura, una flota de 200 cruceros acorazados manejables con muy poco personal y que decantaría el lado de cualquiera que lo tuviera. Aquí es de la parte que menos me gusta, dando al imperio demasiada ventaja (se llevan unos 170 por apenas 30 de la República.)

I am quite looking forward to all the, hopefully coming, fandom inspired works, because there will certainly come pearls and masterpieces that are not just better than the movie, or even series in general, but also own the standard grew with introducing or expanding already existing, amazing antiheroes. Segunda parte de la trilogía de la Nueva República (comúnmente conocida como trilogía de Thrawn por motivos claros), que inicia justo al final de la novela anterior Heredero del Imperio, y sigue los acontecimientos desde allí. Esta reseña estará libre de spoilers de la obra salvo en una pestaña aparte, pero algo tendrá también de la primera parte. Zahn has a few annoying "tics" to his writing, such as unusual dialogue choices made by nearly every character (imagine that you're writing a story about people from all over the world, and every character who isn't a bad guy says "y'all" and "fixin' to") and the insistence on describing every lightsaber ignition as snap-hiss, but I can generally ignore those and simply enjoy the story. Mara probably is the standout character outside of the OG trilogy in this book, because she starts to have her own storyline, and I really felt bad for her when her decisions had consequences and she didn't really know what to do. (I think she has even better books later on, but this book was excellent for her character development).Meanwhile, dissension and personal ambition threaten to tear the Republic apart. As Princess Leia— pregnant with Jedi twins—risks her life to bring a proud and lethal alien race into alliance with the Republic, Han and Lando Calrissian race against time to find proof of treason inside the highest Republic Council—only to discover instead a ghostly fleet of warships that could bring doom to their friends and victory to their enemies. Those that read my review of Heir know what I thought of Talon Karrde. Well, he's just as bland here as he was before, but this time he's more central to the story. Once again, Leia gets an interesting subplot, and it works very well as a progression from the first book. I loved learning about the history of the Noghri leading up to this book and felt the tragedy of it. I also really liked how Leia had to use her dark heritage like it was something positive, and she didn't take it lightly at all.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Star Wars: Dark Force Rising: The Thrawn Trilogy, Book 2?
