Publisher Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Long before the First Order, before the Empire, before even The Phantom Menace . . . Jedi lit the way for the galaxy in The High Republic

It is a golden age. Intrepid hyperspace scouts expand the reach of the Republic to the furthest stars, worlds flourish under the benevolent leadership of the Senate, and peace reigns, enforced by the wisdom and strength of the renowned order of Force users known as the Jedi. With the Jedi at the height of their power, the free citizens of the galaxy are confident in their ability to weather any storm But the even brightest light can cast a shadow, and some storms defy any preparation.

When a shocking catastrophe in hyperspace tears a ship to pieces, the flurry of shrapnel emerging from the disaster threatens an entire system. No sooner does the call for help go out than the Jedi race to the scene. The scope of the emergence, however, is enough to push even Jedi to their limit. As the sky breaks open and destruction rains down upon the peaceful alliance they helped to build, the Jedi must trust in the Force to see them through a day in which a single mistake could cost billions of lives.

Even as the Jedi battle valiantly against calamity, something truly deadly grows beyond the boundary of the Republic. The hyperspace disaster is far more sinister than the Jedi could ever suspect. A threat hides in the darkness, far from the light of the age, and harbors a secret that could strike fear into even a Jedi’s heart.

Rogerio Cruz ,

Fantastic introduction to a new era of Star Wars lore

Lots to unpack here. Several likable and believable characters. Respect for existing Star Wars lore. An interesting villain group that still needs some more exploration of their motives.

The story itself is nice, even though part I is the best part of the book. If you like Star Wars, though, there’s a lot for you here. I’m still a bit confused by the timeline in Part II, there are several events that feel impossible to have happened in parallel.

Overall though, a great read. Highly recommended if you plan on getting into the High Republic era material.

A bit of a slog

I really wanted to like it, but this book never pulled me in. All the Jedi characters in particular were interchangeable and not memorable. I found it very difficult to remember who was who. There were a few sections that were good, but in general it was a chore to make it through the whole thing.
