Title: Star Wars without the Good Parts
Review: I came into Heir to the Empire expecting a piece of speculative fiction on par with other stars of the genre like Dune, The Lord of the Rings, and the Dresden Files.That is not why I got at all.Instead, what I got was a plot which moves at a snail's pace between dull events, descriptions which consistently feel lifeless, characterization that is a poor imitation of that which the movies provide, characters and details in numbers that bog down the story, and technique and style which are sorely lacking. The only aspect of this story keeping it from a one-star review is Grand Admiral Thrawn, the main antagonist, with his fascinating approach to warfare, planning, and investigation.In the end, I'm puzzled as to why this book is considered a classic. It's something I would not recommend to anyone, fan of Star Wars or otherwise.
