The Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy is a masterpiece.

I think the reason the Ascendancy Trilogy did so well, was because it was set in unknown space. He was able to basically do whatever he wanted because we hadn’t had any books where the major setting was unknown space. Ascendancy is my favorite trilogy as well!

Great video! And congrats on 1,000!

congrats on 1k!

Nice video, I’ve recently found your channel The only trilogy I’ve read thst you said was the thrawn trilogy(loved the first, didn’t like the second, the third was ok) but hearing what you had to say makes me really want to read the ascendancy trilogy (congrats on 1k btw)

I also loved the aftermath trilogy, it really fleshed out the character of Snap Wexley. What is more Star Warish then telling the story of a small background character.

“He laid pipe”…nice

Keep it up. Congrats on 1k subs. My list: 1) Ascendancy 2) Thrawn 3) Padme (Only read 2 of 3) 4) Amber Heard's feces 5) Aftermath (Only read 2 of 3) Haven't read any Alphabet Squadron books yet I honestly think Alliances gets a little too much hate. While it is one of his weaker novels, I found it to be a fun read. It didn't tie in well to the rest of the trilogy, but Zahn tied it in to his Ascendancy trilogy quite nicely.

i'm with you on aftermath! i know it wasnt the favorite of a ton of fans but i genuinely loved it. the writing made me fall in love with ALL of the characters. mr bones and senjir are two of my favorite star wars literary characters of all time. i felt like it was incredibly under rated and i just enjoyed the story from start to finish. also, as a fan of the old rogue squadron and wraith squadron books from legends, i absolutely loved getting something in that same lane in alphabet squadron. now dont get me wrong, its no where near as good as those xwing books were. but it was nice to get to not only jump back into the cockpit of an xwing, but we also got to imagine the inside of a bwing awing ywing and uwing from the pilots perspective. it actually made me like bwings and uwings far more than i did before. i really enjoyed these even though i completely understand the criticism of them. i think i just missed the space dogfights from my youth i cant argue the thrawn books and timothy zahn is one of if not the greatest writer of star wars literature. my only problem with the canon thrawn novels is that i have a really hard time pushing aside the thrawn that was already in my mind from legends or even rebels for the thrawn that is in these new canon novels. as far as tactics and cleverness thrawn is amazing and that didnt really change. hes like a military sherlock holmes. not to mention i went to school for fine art and art history so i have a special love for the character and his love of art. but i do have a hard time thinking of thrawn from these books as a totally different character from the thrawn i knew before. i think its really almost the change from an antagonist to a protagonist and my mind has trouble accepting it. great review though. love your channel and your analysis of novels

Well, I haven’t actually read any of these as all canon books I’ve read outside High Republic have been standalones. However I am very interested in checking out Alphabet Squadron and Aftermath at some point. I wasn’t too interested in the Thrawn books, but your praise for the Ascendancy trilogy is making me think I might want to read them

I think I'm going to have to read the Alphabet Squadron books. They seem right up my alley.

Just got in the alphabet squadron trilogy. Hoping to be able to keep up with the space battle scenes. By far my weak spot in readying star wars books. ✌️

i felt exactly the same way about the padme trilogy. i gotta say i love padme as one of my favorite characters in star wars and i actually really loved the highlighting of the handmaidens as i think sabe is a badass. but it felt like a slog to get through. it felt to me like instead of reading about enjoyable political details like i hoped, it wound up being personal drama and simply political detail without consequence. i think the mistake was making this a YA trilogy. i think star wars politics are incredibly interesting, but it felt like they were trying to explain them to young people who arent really well versed in political ideas, and because of this the politics just became overly simple.

Do you plan to review Shadow of the Sith that came out today? Obviously you probably can’t do it all in a day, but I was just wondering if you intend to?

Nice Video, make some over the high republic. Tipp, get a new camera.

Nice video

What a shame that the Padmé trilogy isn't so good. I'm still reading through Legends, so I'm not really interested in Canon stuff, but when I heard about the Padmé books I thought about making an exception, since there is so little stuff about Padmé in Legends. Could you explain what exactly you meant when you said that the author narrowed the audience? I don't mind spoilers.

Yesss ! Ascendacy was the only trilogy on here that I read. I haven’t read too much of either legends or the new canon Could you suggest some good starting points for the new canon ? The only thing I’ve read was the Ascendacy trilogy Other than that I’ve read The original 4 books for the X-Wings in legends And dark force rising trilogy

I have two questions for you and would appreciate if you could answer them: 1. Should I read the canon Thrawn trilogy before the Ascendancy trilogy? 2. I'm thinking of buying only one book from the Queen trilogy and after reading it, decide if I want to read the rest. What would be the best book from the trilogy to do that?

I loved Alphabet squadron trilogy 👌
