UGH! I love Star Wars but I especially love Gay Star Wars.
I could say more but y'all this book had sapphics, gay Jedis, grumpy violent cats, badass rogues, and Force spirituality. I was never meant to be objective about this book. I just loved it.

Gay people in MY Star Wars book?!? It’s more likely than you think, but seriously, I love this book and it raised my anxiety levels in all the best ways. I’m really happy that there is so much representation in The High Republic.

I really liked all the connections to and implications for the rest of the High Republic phase 1 series, but the pacing was inconsistent. I wanted to spend more time on things that were glossed over or hastily resolved in a page, but other things were repeated more than necessary. The book is worth reading to see familiar characters and to understand the setup for Tempest Runner (and I’m sure further books as well), but this is the weakest THR project to-date, in my opinion.

Overall a really fun Star Wars book that filled in a lot of the backstory that you get in The Fallen Star. Overall, a really fun Star Wars read and a fun adventure. I do think there was just one too many perspectives in this story (like I love the character, but what value, exactly, did the Reath chapters bring to the story?) and I think it took a bit long for all the storylines to converge. But overall, a fun read and a good time.
