Reading this was a slog. There were way too many plot lines that didn’t go anywhere. Bits of it were interesting, mostly involving Luke and Mara. It would have benefitted significantly from focusing in on a few plot threads. 

I feel like the big revelations didn’t hit because the buildup was so muddled. It wasn’t interesting to watch characters find out the Thrawn was a fake because we already knew, and the reveal at the end don’t even amount to much anyway. Also the fruition of Luke and Mara’s partnership into a relationship didn’t feel earned.

They don’t say the title :(
