I finished the Thrawn trilogy today. It was alternatingly slow (usually when the story focused on Leia) and incredibly tense and awesome (Thrawn). C'Baoth annoyed the hell out of me, except for the final showdown, and I really hope he stays dead.

Quick complaint: I'm expected to believe that some Imperial scientist actually obtained Luke's hand and lightsaber from Cloud City, and kept it for... what, eight, nine years, until C'Baoth wanted to clone it? That's entering Glove of Darth Vader territory right there. I mean, I realize these are a bunch of books about space-wizards in the past-future, but come on.

That being said, yesterday I received a package in the mail containing this:


I can't wait to start reading. Zahn's bad habits as a writer bugged me less and less as I got into the books, and I hope I can gloss over Stackpole's flaws just as easily.

You realise you're two books short of the full series right?

They're arriving later this week from Amazon, along with I, Jedi and Vector Prime. (My library has the Thrawn duology, which I'll read before tackling NJO.)
