Off to a great start!

Revisado: 07-09-21

This is the first book in the Jedi Quest series. You can certainly tell that the author of this book knows and respects the lore that came before it. It fits in well with the greater universe.

I listened to this years ago, but coming back to it now, it just holds up so well. Definitely a recommend, and especially for the Jedi minded out there.

This is a young adult series, and though there is death and dire circumstances, the Jedi never kill anyone. Instead, there is more of an emphasis on arrests, diplomacy and due process, which is appropriate for this age range.

This approach fits naturally with the role of the Jedi and blends well with some pretty adult circumstances.

And there is a not so subtle lesson about treachery behind good intentions and how destructive self-centeredness can be. The unfolding plot has some interesting overlaps with current circumstances and reminds us not to be blind to how terrible we can be to each other by not listening.

Some would say I’m reaching with that last statement, but these are usually the folks who have opinions about everything. Hard to listen when you think you know already. ;)

Highly recommend! Looking forward to the next one!
