An incredible story that dives into the heart of the Jedi

Revisado: 01-05-23

Where do I even begin?

Claudia Gray tells a brilliant, striking story that not only gives great insight into its very human, very vulnerable cast, but manages to reframe the Jedi’s relationship with the Force entirely.

Gray paints the Force not just as all living things, or a tool for the Jedi, but as their support net. The Jedi look to the Force in their time of greatest need, and, unfortunately in this book, they are more deprived of it than ever before.

This book manages to simultaneously delve deeper into using the Force for concentration, for focus, and to make our protagonists feel vulnerable, to feel… mortal.

Gray also manages to give an air of horror to certain sections of this book, plunging you headfirst into the overwhelming fear the characters experience. It’s absolutely heart-pounding all the way through.

This, however, could not have been fully brought to life if not for the magnificent Marc Thompson, who again gives a stellar performance. Thompson manages to give each character a distinct voice, personality, and quirks with his frankly stupefying vocal range. When his voice switches to that grave, somber tone, you know something is going down.

Overall, this might be the best chapter in the story of The High Republic, and I cannot wait to find out what comes next!
