Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy (Book III: Lesser Evil)
Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy (Book III: Lesser Evil) | Timothy Zahn
8 posts | 6 read | 1 to read
The fate of the Chiss Ascendancy hangs in the balance in the epic finale of the Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy from bestselling author Timothy Zahn. For thousands of years the Chiss Ascendancy has been an island of calm, a center of power, and a beacon of integrity. It is led by the Nine Ruling Families, whose leadership stands as a bulwark of stability against the Chaos of the Unknown Regions. But that stability has been eroded by a cunning foe who winnows away trust and loyalty in equal measure. Bonds of fidelity have given way to lines of division among the families. Despite the efforts of the Expansionary Defense Fleet, the Ascendancy slips closer and closer to civil war. The Chiss are no strangers to war. Their mythic status in the Chaos was earned through conflict and terrible deeds, some long buried. Until now. To ensure the Ascendancys future, Thrawn will delve deep into its past, uncovering the dark secrets surrounding the ascension of the First Ruling Family. But the truth of a familys legacy is only as strong as the legend that supports it. Even if that legend turns out to be a lie. To secure the salvation of the Ascendancy, is Thrawn willing to sacrifice everything? Including the only home he has ever known?

THRAWN!!! Probably my favorite we‘ve read so far. It‘s a good wrap up to the trilogy and everything comes around to set Thrawn up for the next trilogy he‘s the star of. The pacing is fluid, quick but clean. Character development pays off for almost all the characters. The dual timelines converge to give a terrific ending. Listened to audio as well and it was 👩‍🍳💋

I loved this book. It was a fantastic conclusion to the Ascendancy trilogy. In this one Thrawn risks everything for one last attempt to save his people and destroy the Grysk.

The last part of the trilogy was my favourite. I got a better feeling for the characters and the story, and got more drawn into the book than before. Not my most beloved series in the Star Wars universe, but I still really liked the characters and how it all turned out.

What did everyone think of Out of The Shadows? I enjoyed it. I really like Vernestra Rwoh. She's becoming one of my favorites in this new series.
This month we finish up the Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy with Lesser Evil. I'm looking forward to catching up with the Chiss.
As always if anyone wants to be added or removed just let me know. And May the Force Be With You!

BookwormAHN This book is the last one on our current schedule so I'll start working on the new one. If anyone has any books they would like to read from the legends we can always add some of those. 2y
Jari-chan I loved Out Of The Shadows and already started with Thrawn. Adding some of the Legends books sounds good to me, as well. There are so many I haven't read yet 😅 2y
Andrew65 I always seem to be a month behind on these 🙈 2y
BookwormAHN @Andrew65 Don't worry about it just read them when you can 😸 2y

Eagly! 😍 My song for Augusts #TurnUpTheBooks is Wig Wams Do You Really Wanna Taste It - which is also the intro song for DCs Peacemaker series. Love the show, love the song.

And what popped up in my mind? Thrawn and his crew dancing the Peacemaker dance 😂 Well, I guess I got a match. And a dancing Thrawn in my head 😅

I feel like I lost some of the story as I zoned out during the extensive space battle sequences. The strategic reasoning is a lot of fun, but I am going to be looking for a general summary of the full series to remind myself of all the connections. On to the High Republic series!

Trying to blow through this audio before it returns Wednesday. 23 hour book with a 21 day loan, and lots of holiday commitments, but also lots of time off, so I think I'll be able to finish. Built this Metal Earth model this morning while listening.

AmyG That‘s pretty cool. 3y
