Thrawn: Alliances

I enjoyed the interaction between Vader and Thrawn and the juxtaposition between the Anakin/Vader character adds a lot to the story as a whole. I've never really felt Anakin was Vader until this book surprisingly.

The stormtroopers were used well and I actually enjoyed Kimmund as a character.

I didn't care for the Padme storyline. She was never really my favourite character and this book didn't really change my opinion on her.

I think too much of the book was unnecessary and probably could have enjoyed a tighter plot. Thrawn didn't feel like the main character but rather Anakin/Vader did.

The reveal that the Chiss have force sensitives and that the Chiss are in the process of civil war is interesting.
