The best resistance era story so far

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.

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.

So good I had to listen in one go. Couldn’t stop. Highly recommend checking this one out even if audiobooks are not your normal thing.

Absolutely amazing. Voice acting, sound mixing, story, all done with mastery worthy of a Jedi Master.

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.

This book was the perfect amount of light in dark and accelerating the story forward that was needed to reignite my passion for the high Republic
