really liked it

I found that alot of the parts I remembered most about the trilogy were in this book, both good and bad. I would have liked the New Republic to actually beat Thrawn, rather than the combination of past deeds catching up and outsmarting himself that happened, but it does certainly make for a great image... I wonder once again how awesome this would have been on the big screen if Disney was just willing to pay Timothy Zahn a bit instead of starting from scratch and coming up with the nonsense they did.

I was fun seeing the different uses Thrawn came up with for cloaking tech, which is far more interesting than just sneaking up on someone. Star Trek writers should take note.

One thing that did occur to me... the cover doesn't make alot of sense. I think it's meant to be Mara and Luuke, but certainly it makes me think of Jacen and Jaina (Who are of course infants in this book)

I wonder if that's on purpose?
