Es konnte mich leider nicht ganz so sehr wie Band 1 fesseln, da es ein wenig gestreckt wirkte. Aber es hat trotzdem sehr viel Spaß gemacht, vorallem durch die Anakin/Vader & Thrawn Dynamik.
This is my live review of the book. Prologue 1 Two evil people, working under the control of an evil leader, don't like each other. The evil leader doesn't fully trust either of them. The evil people are Darth Vader and Thrawn. Prologue 2 We've gone back to Darth Vader's past, before he was evil. I don't know why I am finding this part tedious and want to skip over it. Chapter 1 Someone can tell which stormtrooper is inside of which stormtrooper suit. The book has shifted into a weird play by play internal narration written in italics, which is distracting. It's hard to tell which point of view the comments are coming from, and therefore their importance. It feels like unnecessary reading. It's like the scene narration for blind people that happens in movies. It's very annoying!He turns, his long cloak swirling, his half-hidden light saber glinting in the bridge light. His hands remain hooked in his belt a moment, and then he lowers his arms to his sides. His fingers curl slightly. I think it's an error, and these parts are guidance for how they animate this in a cartoon. Perhaps they are not meant to be in the actual book. BUT unfortunately my time had to be wasted by reading it, and then typing it!!! I guess I am looking for the scene where Vader force chokes Thrawn, since they don't get along, and disagree on everything. But this book is a lot of filler, and I can stop reading before I waste my time. That scene isn't coming anytime soon.
A really boring book. Here, read about the color system: Communications to and from a Star Destroyer like the ISD Chimaera came from many directions, and at many different status and security levels. Each message carried a numerical code specifying the degree of importance, and those codes defined how and by whom each was to be handled. Commodore Karyn Faro knew all of those codes. But somehow, in a still-youthful corner of her mind that years of Imperial military regulation and order hadn't quite eradicated, those codes also somehow ended up as colors. Identification signals from nearby ships or status reports from mid-distant bases, routine matters handled by junior officers, came in shades of green or blue. The small percentage of more significant orders and reports from Coruscant--which was better known by the bureaucracy these days as Imperial Center--were pictured in shades of yellow or orange. Those were screened by the Chimaera's more senior officers. The rare handful of vital or top-secret messages coming from the senior admirals of High Command, all of which were handled by Faro personally, moved into the range of darker shades of red or purple. And the few--the very few--that came from outside the official navy chain of command, the ones that went directly to Grand Admiral Thrawn himself, were an unremittent black. If that makes you want to read this book, you are a different kind of person.
A Vader and Thrawn buddy cop story isn't something I thought I needed, but am very glad we got.
