Story
The Resistance is in ruins. In the wake of their harrowing escape from Crait, what was once an army has been reduced to a handful of wounded heroes. Finn, Poe, Rey, Rose, Chewbacca, Leia Organa - their names are famous among the oppressed worlds they fight to liberate. But names can only get you so far, and Leia’s last desperate call for aid has gone unanswered. From the jungles of Ryloth to the shipyards of Corellia, the shadow of the First Order looms large, and those with the bravery to face the darkness are scattered and isolated.

The best resistance era story so far
Reviewed: 01-21-25
I feel like this story is so much better than the sequel movies and honestly so much more essential to understanding how they get from A to B to C in the storyline. There’s so much essential character development and story telling that helps frame the on and off screen events throughout the galaxy that it honestly should have been “required reading” back in 2018 or whatever. Marc Thompson is fantastic as always, further cementing himself as both the voice of Star Wars and easily my personal favorite audiobook narrator of all time. Highly recommended.

Weaving beautiful threads of story
Reviewed: 12-07-24
The author uses a really good intertwining storytelling style where the perspective naturally transitions within the chapters as the characters come into contact with each other or have a shared experience of some sort. It must’ve taken a LOT of careful planning but it was totally worth it for the effect.

Story
The Jedi are reeling from Qui-Gon Jinn’s sudden death at the hands of a Sith. Jedi Master Mace Windu’s feelings about Qui-Gon have always been complicated, and have not been made any simpler in death. While they often disagreed, Mace valued Qui-Gon’s unique perspective, and their shared dedication to the Force made them allies. Without Qui-Gon and his unorthodox views, Mace feels out of balance. While considering his fallen friend’s legacy, Mace is surprised to receive a final message from Qui-Gon.

Story
It’s been over a year since the fall of the Starlight Beacon space station, and both heroes and villains alike must face the consequences of their decisions. When Jedi Knight Reath and Padawan Amadeo Azzazzo are sent on a mission to test their theories about the Nameless, they’ll come face-to-face with the terrifying creatures once thought to be myth—and learn the true meaning of fear . . . fear that fallen Jedi Azlin Rell advised them to embrace if they have any hope of defeating the monsters.

Great Story
- By J. Maggard on 10-17-24
Drags at first but finishes well
Reviewed: 11-01-24
The narration was ok but the pacing of the story must’ve made it incredibly difficult for the narrator to keep it engaging. Too much information was repeated too many times throughout the story, too many descriptions and exposition felt like copy and paste, and overall the story felt 100 pages too long because of it. Having said that, there are key elements to the overall story of the high republic that really can’t be missed and when the novel is at its best it is truly great. I still recommend it, and I hope that the narrator gets more (better) opportunities to demonstrate her skills in the future, but this was the first high republic novel that I struggled to get through. I am still glad I did, because it felt like a turning point for the series and left me feeling very excited for what comes next.
