Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy
Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy: (Book 1: Chaos Rising) | Timothy Zahn
9 posts | 9 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
_____________________________________ Discover Thrawns origins within the Chiss Ascendancy in the first book in an epic new Star Wars trilogy from bestselling author Timothy Zahn. Beyond the edge of the galaxy lies the Unknown Regions: chaotic, uncharted, and near impassable, with hidden secrets and dangers in equal measure. And nestled within its swirling chaos is the Ascendancy, home to the enigmatic Chiss and the Nine Ruling Families that lead them. The peace of the Ascendancy, a beacon of calm and stability, is shattered after a daring attack on the Chiss capital that leaves no trace of the enemy. Baffled, the Ascendancy dispatches one of its brightest young military officers to root out the unseen assailants. A recruit born of no title, but adopted into the powerful family of the Mitth and given the name Thrawn. With the might of the Expansionary Fleet at his back, and the aid of his comrade Admiral Aralani, answers begin to fall into place. But as Thrawns first command probes deeper into the vast stretch of space his people call the Chaos, he realizes that the mission he has been given is not what it seems. And the threat to the Ascendancy is only just beginning.

This was quite entertaining. It's basically the Thrawn origin story and not surprisingly he is equally brilliant & clueless. Fortunately he has help from Admiral Ar'alani & Thalias as he fights off space pirates, uses art to judge civilizations, and anger the Chiss Ascendancy. Business as usual ❤

Mehso-so

While there were many things about this book I really liked (Thrawn himself, the culture, Thalias' and Che'ris relationship) I still can only rate it as a So-So. For me, the book lacked of depth and could've used more charaterization. As many Star Wars novels are, this one is very story-driven, but Zahn just couldn't catch my attention for long. I was hoping for a bit more... But let's see what's more to come, right?

So did you enjoy Queen‘s Peril last month?

I quite enjoyed it, I left wishing they‘d rewrite the series from the women‘s POV‘s…all Padmé, Leia, and Ray. ?

This month we have the first book in a new Thrawn Trilogy! So put in your library holds or dig out your books. ?. Mine has a huge waitlist at the library, so I‘ll get to it when it gets here.

Strong start to the new trilogy. It was interesting to see a moment from Thrawn: Alliances retold in this book from the then Senior Captain‘s perspective. Excited to see where this series goes and hopefully we‘ll get a glimpse into how Thrawn was exiled from the Ascendancy.

We aren‘t getting to this book until the second half of 2021 with the #StarWarsBuddyRead, but it‘s on sale on kindle in the US today for anyone planning ahead or with limited library availability.

MoMogrl I love star wars and am hoping to get back on track reading. I'd love to be added. 3y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @MoMogrl Will do! I‘ll tag you on the list for 2021. 3y

NovelGirl82 I‘m hoping I can stay on track a bit better this year. Ugh, school! What are we reading for January? January will be a bit busy in the first couple of weeks, so I want to make sure I have it ready to go. 3y
NovelGirl82 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Oh good! I started this one and then got off on something else when I was only a few chapters in, and didn‘t get back to it. I‘ve been meaning to finish it. 3y

I'm cataloging Zahn's new Star Wars book and the pages have a blue border. Not something I've seen before.
