Read the first book, it was an interesting take. I’d like to try borrowing some of the trades when they become available at the library on as I think the visuals might help with this different time period.

Re: Star Wars: The High Republic - Series Discussion
I'm loving The High Republic. I've read every book they've released so far, but only a few of the comics. It's obviously so well planned out and organized. There's enough connectivity that you get a sense of it being one story as you read more, but not to the extent you'd be missing anything essential if you only read the adult novels for instance. I highly recommend The High Republic.

Re: Star Wars: The High Republic - Series Discussion
I've read all nine novels (the three adult novels, the three young adult novels, and the three young reader novels) and a couple of the comics and I just finished the audio script book (The Tempest Runner) today.
I've enjoyed how closely connected they are but its hard to wrap your head around 50 or so characters and keep their names, alien races, and personal links fresh in your memory. I was also surprised at how quickly they killed off some of them... and was pained when ones we've grown to love are killed.
I agree with some other readers that the story is very dark and seems like the Jedi can't catch a break... and then they end Phase I on a cliffhanger and announce that Phase II is taking place 100 years before that and leaving us hanging?!
Oh well, the first novel of Phase II, Path of Deceit by Justina Ireland and new comer Tessa Gatton, comes out this week (October 4, 2022) so we'll see where this goes.
