Given that the new canon Thrawn book just dropped, what are your thoughts? Have you bought it yet? If so, did you enjoy it? Where you happy with parts of Thrawn's story that were recanonized, and what were you disappointed in that wasn't?

I've always been a huge fan of the character Thrawn. I love the fact that they decided to bring him into current Canon. I'm not completely through the book yet, but I've been pretty happy with it so far. I won't lie, I haven't been keeping up with the animated shows, so I can't really speak to the changes in his character. From what I've seen so far he seems like the Thrawn from Heir to the Empire, but in a rawer form. If anything he's Sherlock in space. lol (I also might be a huge Sherlock Holmes fan.)

Timothy Zahn stated on his Facebook page, a few days before Thrawn dropped, that he based Thrawn partially on Holmes (and Pellaeon on Watson). So that was probably an intentional comparison. The book itself was fantastic. Love that Thrawn is still his old self, though there was an interesting new side of him shown in this book.
