brenticus reviewed Specter of the Past by Timothy Zahn (Star Wars: The Hand of Thrawn, #1)
None
3 stars
On the one hand, I was really into the buildup of everything on all sides of the conflict, and it presents very well the complications of such a Galactic Republic and the complex nature of reparations for past wrongs between nations.
On the other hand, literally nothing is resolved even the slightest bit. I know this is a duology, but it's really more like half of a very long novel with how the ending is really just where a lot of stuff is ramping up.
