Thanks for starting this challenge!

I am not a great Star Wars fan, but one of my coworkers is. He provided recommendations, and I decided to take it easy - just three books for now.
The ones I chose were the Thrawn trilogy. Felt like StarWars, but also entertaining boks in their own right. I like the new characters (Thrawn! The smugglers!),
some corrections to the universe (Less power to the force! Fewer senseless killing by Thrawn than by Vader!). Entertaining plot, not too many holes, some nice twists. I don't regret the time spent on these books.

What comes next - a Star Wars break, sorry. There are other challenges on this site just as interesting.

If I get back to this challenge before it ends (possible, but not very likely) I'd upgrade to 6 with The Hand of Thrawn (sequel!) and Aftermath (to see what the excitement is about), then maybe movie novelizations. We shall see.


Thanks again for starting this!
