Finished reading: Thrawn Alliances by Timothy Zahn 📚

This was the second book in the Star Wars Thrawn trilogy - here is my writing on the first.

The second book was very different; whereas the first book described the tactical political maneuvering of the characters, this book was an exercise in narrative maneuvering, with the author jumping between three different plot lines, and intersecting them at different points of space and time. At times it was hard to keep track of exactly who said what, to whom, and when… I ended up “letting go” a little bit to just let the narrative wash over me, and it was still a good book, even without me tracking every thread.
