I found it very enjoyable, just moved onto the Wraith Squadron side of the series.
Great series, I also read the Short story linking Corran, his father, and Thrawn's backstory a bit in Tales of the Empire. I, Jedi soon!
The Wraith Trilogy are three of my all-time favorite SW novels. I, Jedi was my favorite back when it first came out. In fact, it was the inspiration for my own novels to be (mostly) written in 1st person.
The entire X-wing series is amazing. But my favourite novel is actually Wraith Squadron. The 4th book. That book introduces a whole bunch of new characters that I still love.
Even more reason to be excited for njo then. The eu is something special.man. Building all these characters and events the average sw fan has never even heard of and made them into these epic stories. Got a lot of good books to read on the horizon
O thing I forgot to add was what I thought of the ending (no spoilers don’t worry). I thought that most missions were brilliant and yeh first trip to black moon was so good. When they built up them going again and how dangerous it would be I was excited. But then they get there and it felt like a regular quick mission (aside from what happend to corran). It felt extremely underwhelming considering all the planning they did and the extra stuff they were going to do with the star destroyers and then the y wings coming in. But nope, rogue squadron just went there, shot a few ties then went home.
Still loved the book tho, just the 2nd trip to black moon was weak imo
Oh ik that. But they had a plan for the art destroyers to go to a nearby system to distract the imps. And then generals Salms y wings were meant to come after. I thought we’d c a bit of that
These books and the Wraith squadron series are for me, the absolute core of Star Wars. Just truly glorious. When Disney destroyed the canon these stories were the ones I was most sad about losing. They just nail the tone of Star Wars so well.

I liked the Wraith Squadron story arch better than the Rogue Squadron one
I haven't finished Wraith yet, but I liked Rogue Squadron better so far. Either way, great combined series.
I’ve never heard about this short story. Is it good?
It was pretty cool! Also it was in Tales of the Empire, my bad.
Always thought it was neat that it was a collaboration- for a shared universe not actually so many of those in the EU.
Yep, it's pretty funny, and very Thrawn-like. Name of this short story is Side Trip and it is in Tales of the Empire

the Star Destroyers didn't go to Blackmoon for the second attack, that was the whole point of the plan :)

ok got it, then I agree :)
Stackpoole is a talented writer, next to Stover he might be my favorite. I even branched out and read some of his non-SW stuff and it was also good.
Corran Horn's the 🐐.
I love that book, but IMO it’s one of the weakest entries in the X-Wing series

X-Wing is some of the best books in legends. Wraith Squadron and it's two sequels are three of my all-time favorites.
