Oh that was good! I admit, I didn't understand at first how phase 2 could be set 50 or so years before phase 1, but this book makes it clear early on how both periods are connected. And this phase doesn't pull any punches either, so no Jedi you might find yourself sympathetic to is safe.
I didn't love being reminded that Yana and Marda are Evereni every other page, but the racism underlying the discourse around them is a pretty good analogy for our world.

The writing in this book is amazing! This is probably one of my favorite High Republic books except for maybe The Fallen Star. The only thing I wish was different was that it was longer.
