Eli and Thrawn should re-unite but it should be that last scene in Bridget Jones Diary were she’s like “😭 I thought you left coz you read my diary 😭” and he’s like, “Yeah and I saw it was full so I went to get you a new one.” 🥹

Some thoughts on the first book in the Thrawn trilogy.

They're a bit messy because I'm going off of memory as I didn't take notes at the time but oh well.

[MAJOR SPOILERS FROM HERE ON, BEWARE!]

I'm gonna start by saying that I didn't expect the adventures of space Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson but I'm definitely not complaining. It's a tried and true formula and Nightswan as their Moriarty worked well while it lasted.

Also you know a book and its characters are good when it gets you to cheer for the 'bad guys'. And I'm only putting that in quotes because you get a genuine sense that despite the corruption and bias galore, a large part of the personnel are just regular people working a job and trying to go about their lives.

Arihnda's arc was really well done - you sympathize with her while she's an underdog, getting betrayed, manipulated and used by others. She's wily and ambitious and resilient and you're like yas, queen slay. But the more she plays the game the more you see her crossing lines until the final arc where you realize just how ruthless she's become, or maybe always was, and you get that sense of 'oh shit'. (Keep in mind I haven't watched rebels so I didn't know where she would end up.)

It's the same sense you get when you reach the Wookie slaves arc and it sinks in that the quirky duo you've been following are in fact working for the most evil person in the galaxy.

As for Thrawn himself, I didn't expect to enjoy him this much. His final conversation with Nightswan in particular - I always felt like there was something off about his motivations and his apparent ignorance in politics. That scene confirmed that he's even cleverer and craftier than he lets on and put that dissonance to rest.

He's persuasive to the point where you almost wish things would go his way too. I love how it's a running theme throughout the book for people to be frustrated by how much sense he makes and you even sympathize with that as a reader sometimes.

I'm really happy with the parallels the author makes throughout, something I'm seeing in Alliances as well. There's Thrawn and his art and Eli and his numbers, Thrawn's 'bigger picture' logic and Nightswan's principles. Characters really shine when they have a good foil in the story.

And finally Eli. Another character I didn't expect to like so much. Such a genuine plucky guy. It was fun to see him go from being ambiguous about Thrawn to constantly being shocked at how much he trusts him. And being so protective of him, bless.

I'm glad he got his own arc, going from someone who's charted out his whole future and desperately wants to stick to what's familiar to being willing to leave all of that behind and jump into the unknown by joining the Chiss (which was foreshadowed in Thrawn's conversation with Nightswan but still made me a bit sad).

Of course, I do have some complaints, the biggest one being the dialogue and how clunky and awkward it feels at times. Which is especially obvious when you have these supposed cunning politicians throwing the simplest most blunt threats at each other with no subtlety whatsoever.

The book's exposition also suffered because of it. I daresay that has improved in book two but that may just be because there's less politician talk and it's a mostly military setting.

Finally a lot of Thrawn's conclusions feel like a huge reach but I'm willing to let that one slide. Say we assume he knows more than he lets on to the readers.

But all things considered, those are minor complaints and I really enjoyed the book. Can definitely say I'm tempted to see all four seasons of Rebels just to get more of Thrawn.

Conversations between insatiable-curiosity-and-can-read-your-mind-Palpatine and my-loyalties-are-complicated-don't-question-me-about-my-people-Thrawn must have been hilariously bland. X

Palpatine: So, where do the Chiss come from again? Thrawn: You people call it the Unkown Regions. Palpatine: And where there? Thrawn: Idk, the middle maybe? It's a bit chaotic there... X Palpatine: Hey, do you ever miss home? Thrawn: Sometimes. Palpatine: Sorry to hear that, what do you miss about it? Thrawn: Everything. X Palpatine: Soooo, my friend... What are the Chiss like? Thrawn: Blue skinned and red eyed. Palpatine: Aaaaand...? Thrawn: Many are tall and have dark hair.

X Palpatine: Do you have a family back home? Thrawn: Yes. Palpatine: I never imagined you as a family man. Thrawn: They kicked me out.

I can only imagine just how upset Thrawn might've been about Operation Cinder, had he not been space-whaled. All of that effort he put into bolstering the Empire's power, all of the Ascendancy's secrets that he shared with the Emperor in confidence, all of the personal sacrifices he made to his own morals - just for a chance at saving his people (or providing a suitable lamb for the slaughter in between the Grysks and the Ascendancy proper) just for Sheev to burn the entire thing down effective immediately following his death

That feeling when Arihnda Pryce agrees to ditch her only friends in the galaxy on Coruscant and go be General Yularen's primary lackey...

Okay but Thrawn saying, "If a star whale approaches, destroy it with prejudice," made me laugh so hard. You can almost hear the spite in his voice. I just know he absolutely DESPISES those damn whales for ruining his plans and sending him on a forced sabbatical to a weird ass planet in some godforsaken galaxy with Ezra fucking Bridger as a tag along.

Thrawn thinks he got back to the proper galaxy undetected. He thinks Ahsoka, Sabine, etc. are all stranded (true for the most part) and can’t warn anyone of his return.

He has no idea Ezra got on board his ship. He doesn’t know Ezra made it to the New Republic and is able to warn them, ruining Thrawn’s element of surprise. Ezra might even be able to tell the New Republic that Thrawn went to Dathomir.

Once more, Ezra Bridger is going to fuck up all of Thrawn’s plans.

Using Clem as a fake name: Boring, uninspired, too obvious. Literally just your dad’s name, easy to trace back to you, frankly there’s no way it will end well.

Using Horatio Figg as a fake name: Genius, excellent, clearly the work of a master strategist mind. The perfect real human name for a human who is definitely real, impossible to guess is a fake name, absolutely no way anyone could figure it out unless Nightswan recognises Eli or something.
