This is a middle grade novel, and it’s in that context that I write this review. Coming off of reading Light of the Jedi, I really enjoyed Ireland’s novel. The story is simple—even predictable in some aspects—but it’s a fun adventure that advances the overall High Republic universe storyline while giving us some great character development. If you’re invested in the High Republic story line I recommend not skipping over this story. While it might not be absolutely essential to the overall story, the little glimpse it offers into the SW High Republic universe is enjoyable and immersive.
