5/05/25 - Heir to the Empire review

Hello, feasyheads!

Today I didn't get much reading done, but I owe you guys a review of Heir to the Empire, the first book in the Thrawn Trilogy.

This book was of medium length, a little on the shorter side. As for the writing style, it was satisfactory. However, there were several phrases and words that were slightly overused. (ex. conceded, a pair of heartbeats, soothed) 

The story is a great continuation of what happens after the rebels win. A whole new government must be built. In that way, this story reminds me of the Iron Gold trilogy, which is set ten years after Red Rising. There's even the same sort of attempt at a senate, one person trying to gain political power, and the remnants of the enemy wreaking havoc from the shadows. 

I wish that the series was adapted into film, because it would be a great addition. The series is Star Wars Legends, and I think that means it's not canon. 

Heir to the Empire is the start of a great trilogy and had me checking out the second book in the series almost instantly, which I'm currently reading. The books aren't overly long, but also not too short so that plenty happens. 

Heir to the Empire gets an 8.75 out of ten. 

Happy belated Star Wars Day! Well, it is Revenge of the Fifth lol.
