This book was really fun, with a sense of humor that I really loved (for example, the little bit about Jedi romance novels made me laughed and also I would love to read one of those) balanced with a lot of the soap-y high drama action. I liked this generation of Jedi a whole lot (especially Bell and Loden). The Nihil are kind of meh as villains, but it is nice to see the Jedi fight a threat that isn't Ultimate Evil Incarnate. A nice little romp and I look forward to the next installment.

I enjoyed this as a good entry point to the greater High Republic story. It covers the state of the galaxy, the imminent threat, and the balance of power, as well as introducing us to many exciting new characters. The first third of the book is particularly exciting, a true disaster movie rendered in prose. The frenetic pace has a drawback, though: I never felt as though we spent enough time with most of the characters to really get to love them -- and several that I thought I might get there with then died!
