Okay, I really don't like the High Republic. I really liked the first book, but the characters did so much stupid shit in the second that I barely got through this. I just wanted to finish the series, so I got through it, but yeah. I might try Phase 2, but we'll see. I did love Bell tho.

The Fallen Star was a satisfying conclusion to an electrifying trilogy that introduced some of my new favorite characters in Star Wars lore as well as some innovate concepts in the Universe.

I’m a fan of The High Republic, but not necessarily the way they intertwined the adult, YA, and middle-grade novels. Having characters move in and out of the various trilogies makes in difficult to care about certain characters or follow the arcs of other characters. The series would have been stronger as a whole of they hadn’t thrown people into and out of the separate trilogies. Biggest example of this, after the first novel I would have loved to have seen more of Avar Kriss, but her character arc moved into other novels.

Overall, I enjoyed the whole series, but think future trilogies should be more self-contained. Unfortunately, I think that’s the opposite of what they are trying to do, but one can hope!
