LOVE LOVE LOVE. I have become very attached to all the characters in this story. I really enjoy Claudia’s writing style and the pace the story develops at. I couldn’t put the book down once I opened it up. Reath has now been added to my top 2 favorite THR characters. Also, Geode is the MVP. 

100% recommend this read!

Aside from name dropping Yoda, I had no knowledge of any of these characters 🤣 but that made it very fun! As always, amazing as an audiobook, a very entertaining story

           This is a great addition to the Star Wars cannon—I’m loving this look at the Jedi Order before it got too enmeshed with the Republic.

Claudia Grey excels at writing characters, and showing their inner struggles. And for Jedi, I feel like the inner struggle is most significant to their being and identity. So it was seriously cool to follow a host of characters who were all on varying degrees of their journey, struggle with the Force and the Jedi Order.

Light Spoilers…

One of the more profound moments, for me, was when Reath (a young, bookish Padawan) has doubts about his mission, and believes he is alone in this doubt. At that moment he thinks that as a Jedi Master, he’ll finally be free of that doubt. Then, we promptly cut to the other characters—two Jedi Masters and a Jedi Knight—who are waging their own inner battles.

The story is compelling, reveals much about the cannon universe, and introduces remarkable characters. And of course, it’s written in a tidy way—everything wraps up and no questions are left unanswered. That’s all you can hope for in a stand-alone, and I think Grey pulled it off with flying colors. 

I can’t wait to read more High Republic books, I can only hope they’re as good as this one 🥰

Also, GEODE!? My favorite character from the start. I knew he’d show out for the team by the end of the book 😌

I had heard so many good things about this book and having read several of Claudia Gray's other Star Wars books I had high hopes. It did not disappoint! The Padawan really reminded me of my best friend and I found myself in fits of laughter. The narrative was filled with twists and turns that fed my curiosity and I found myself completely engaged with it.
I love how different yet similar the Drengri are as adversaries. They are truly terrifying villeins. 
Honestly this is a must read for fellow Star Wars fans.
