Query: Very disappointing

Zahn's writing style is terrible and made me abandon reading this series. I read 'Heir to the Empire' and listened to 'Dark Forces Rising' and 'The Last Command' on audio cassette because I wanted to know what happened but I didn't want the pain of reading the second two parts of the trilogy.The ysalamiri are ridiculous - a sort of kryptonite for the Jedi - as is C'Boath the dark Jedi Master. How come we hadn't heard of these before - they would have been pretty difficult to keep secret. And the way Thrawn can anticipate any bluff or double bluff and never be wrong makes him unbelievable as well. Mara Jade is a good character though.I suggest people read the X-Wing series first which is much better or even 'The Truce at Bakura' which is well written.
