Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin
Thrawn and his allies race to save the Chiss Ascendancy from an unseen enemy in the second book in the epic Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy from best-selling author Timothy Zahn.
Thrawn's latest triumph still rests newly on his shoulders. Despite leading the Chiss to victory and bringing glory to the House of Mitth, the true threat to the Ascendancy has not yet been extinguished. Their foes do not send threats or ultimatums, or mass ships on the edge of the Chaos. Their weapons come cloaked in smiles and generosity: gifts offered freely. Services granted unconditionally.
Across the Ascendancy, seemingly inconsequential events could herald the doom of the Chiss. As Thrawn and the Expansionary Defense Fleet rally to uncover the enemy plot, they discover a chilling truth: rather than invade Chiss capitals or pillage their resources, they strike at the very foundation of the Ascendancy, seeking to widen the rifts between the Nine Ruling Families and the Forty Great Houses below. As rivalry and suspicion sow discord among allies, each warrior must decide what matters most to them: the security of their family, or the survival of the Ascendancy itself.

A good middle book
Like most middle books in trilogies, this book didn't have the excitement of "a new world" that the first books have or the thrill of the climax that the last books have. Even though parts of Greater Good were a bit dull, the story was engaging enough to keep you hooked on till the end. There were a lot of great quotes in this book and I found Thrawn's deductions interesting.
Greater Good continues the story of Thrawn and his ship, the Springhawk after the defeat of General Yiv and the Nikardun in Chaos rising. We meet a lot of new characters and a lot of new places are explored in this book. I found it hard to remember the different names and keep track of the new characters since a lot of them have similar sounding names.
This book has a lot of unanswered questions at the end and some chapters were a bit boring but I think it served the purpose of a middle book quite well as we are now familiar with the setting and it leaves you wanting to read the third book Lesser Evil, coming out in November this year.

Master Narrator and voice actor
Marc Thompson is absolutely phenomenal, he's like 5 people in 1, so many voices it's hard to fathom...

Boring
Don't know or care about any of the characters Thrawn was barely in it and I wish they would stop using music from the films

The best so far
Better than the first book in the series, and I loved the first book.
Could not put this down, the B-Plot weaves so wonderfully into the main plot, or was the main plot the b plot? Hard to tell, it's so good
Once again, Marc Thompson killing it keeping me super immersed, and Timothy Zahn is at the top of his game, the space combat is so well written you will be on the edge of your seat.
A movie in your ears, just do yourself the favour of getting this

Cream of the crop
I love the Thrawn books to varying degrees. Before this my favourite was Dark Force Rising but Greater Good has taken number one spot. Skillfully crafted with intricate interweving plotlines - as intricate as the metals on those broaches, that converge in an interesting way. Plus, great ending that left me ready for the next installment. Thank the force I won’t have to wait long. Loved every minute.
Great performance once again by Marc Thompson too.

Not Zahn’s greatest
The best star wars book production yet and another great reading by Marc Thompson.
The whole book feels like filler to Thrawn’s story. The stakes are lower than ever and connections are made between odd characters with no relevance. Overall unenjoyable.

Expect nothing less from Zahn
Maybe I’m a fanboi, I honestly don’t care. Timothy Zahn is a master wordsmith and it’s rare that I don’t thoroughly enjoy his books.
