Star Wars: The High Republic: Tears of the Nameless

By: George Mann

Narrated by: Amber Lee Connors

The New York Times best-selling series continues in this heart-wrenching sequel to Defy the Storm where fans will reunite with fan-favorite Jedi Knight Reath Silas.

Written by the author of The High Republic: Eye of Darkness, The High Republic: Quest for the Hidden City, Dark Legends, and Myths & Fables, this next High Republic installment is perfect for fans of investigative mysteries, mythology, monster-hunting, and apocalyptic sci-fi.

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 addition to the high republic

The flashy “Star Wars” background sounds that accompany several of the Star Wars audiobooks is NOT present. However the story is so good you don’t notice most the time.

This book teeters on the line of being a horror story at several points with many dark moments. In the arc of the High Republic it was a great addition to the final phase of the initiative.
Also George Mann is a GOAT.

Cool to get some behind the scenes info on the “bad guys”!

This was a great book and story! I didn’t want the book to end. I wanted the story to go on.

Narration

I loved the story. But, yhe narrator doesn't capture many of the characters spirits, vocally. I believe she could have done both Elzar and Yoda better. Elzar sounded too haggard. Yoda sounded like a person who normally talks, not like how Yoda talks. She did, however, perform Komack Vitus' excellently! That's important, as he is a main character within this particular novel.

Great story with bad narration

As with most of the high republic books, I very much enjoyed the story. After listening to all of them up until this one, I must say that the narrator, and I won’t call her a storyteller, was incredibly dull and dry. I felt as though anybody I know could be reading the book Word for Word to me. Other books in the series narrated by people like Mark Thompson, use their talent to change the voices of all of the different characters, even maintaining them through multiple books. This narrator did not. Sure from time to time she deepen her voice to try and sound like a male character, but it took everything I had to not turn it off and skip the book.

I really like the story arc of the High Republic

The story arc for the High Republic, is really developing well.

Does everyone really have to be gay, gender confused, or sexually frustrated?Placing such an emphasis on this really distracts from the overall storyline.
