I wanted more, but I understand that we need to build up Thrawn as opposed to him just coming out of nowhere and being this big bad and all powerful. Thrawn is more calculating than that anyway.

I just didn't remember if they've ever mentioned the Unknown Regions in the movies, to me, i first encountered them in the books.

Bloodline is worth it for the read, I still just can't get through Wendig's books, sadly.

I love Zahn's writing in general, so any of his books are good. If you haven't read the X-Wing series yet and don't care that it's part of the EU, I really recommend it.

I looked it up and the First Order is in the Unknown Regions.

I like some of Zahn's writing so far but I am unimpressed with how he writes women. Mara Jade is underwhelming and I don't think he has any idea who Leia is as a character.

I came to the EU starting with New Jedi Order so I already knew of Mara when I read Zahn's books. I think she's a bit better in the Thrawn Duology, but I do remember liking Survivor's Quest as well. He does tend to stick to males in a lot of his books. I feel like Mara gets better in Dark Force Rising and The Last Command, but it's been ages since I've read them so I could be getting the books confused.

Right now, Mara Jade leaves me sour on trying anything else with her in it. I'm going to finish the trilogy and read Outbound Flight for Thrawn, but then I'll focus on the new canon stuff that's coming out.

I hope Zahn does a better job with whatever female characters he writes in the new Thrawn book. It's been a long time so maybe he's evolved as a writer.

I think he's gotten better, I liked Angelmass, Icarus Hunt and his Dragonthief series a lot.

Lost Stars was a good book, but kind of doesn't really fit in with new canon, other than the Battle of Jakku.

X Wing isn't by Zahn, it's by Stackpole and Allston. Both of whom I prefer to Zahn tbh. It's just a style thing for me.
