    <body><![CDATA[I read Shadows of the Empire, which was entertaining, but something about it didn't feel natural, like some details were skimped on.  With this novel, however, Timothy Zahn really brought the Star Wars universe back to life, with the characters truly feeling like the characters we knew and loved with the movies and introducing new, deep and interesting characters.  The writing here is very good, and I definitely am looking forward to reading the second novel in the Thrawn Trilogy.]]></body>
