Greater Good was an interesting book that tends to be more thoughtful than action packed. It does present some issues that is many times present in the 2nd book of a trilogy. There were many plot points set up to be resolved in the final book. The cast of characters is a bit much as I found it times to recall who's who as many of them were not fleshed out enough to leave a lasting impression to last throughout the story.

Aside from that, and there seemingly to be less Thrawn in this entry, I enjoyed the book. As I implied above, it wasn't presented as many Star Wars books as it didn't have as much action. Instead dialogue, military tactics and Chiss Ascendency politics were more prevalent. I personally enjoyed digging deeper into their thought process and how the Chiss Ascendency operates. However, I understand that may not be a lot of people's cup of tea.
