monilib's review against another edition

Such a good addition. Ram is a great MC, and I liked all of the younglings. DJO and Alyssa Wong make a great team.

Ram is one of my favorite Jedi Padawans and I was happy to see him leading another story. This book was so funny while still having a very engaging story that dealt with a lot of tough circumstances. I also really loved the diversity among the characters and I feel like there are a lot of people that will see themselves represented.
