i enjoyed this more than i thought i would for the kind of story it is. it's very thoughtful and brings up my favorite topic of Star Wars: the Jedi. the politics of the Jedi, especially in this period, is so interesting, especially when you consider how it ripples out during the Anakin Era. i didn't understand the different POV types for both characters, and it could've had more action, but I liked it for what it was. i loved The Acolyte so much and i wish it wasn't cancelled, but I'm glad for this prequel. makes me wanna give the High Republic books another shot.

It wasn't the worst Star Wars book I've read but there was a lot of "this is what a jedi is and if you're not like this you're doing it wrong". I've read plenty of Star Wars books where they have differing ideas on what a jedi's role is, but in this book everyone agreed with Vernestra's ideal which to me seems like the book is also telling me I should. And I don't.
Indara was written so oddly too, I couldn't tell how old she was. Close to 30 to be a jedi knight? But she acts like a 14 year old. I did not like her, even if she had a tragic mining accident. She laughed! at people getting trampled and torn apart by a beast. Like what???
I thought the idea was fun but the writing was oddly clunky. So much was over explained or stiff.
I feel like once again there is a misunderstanding of what happened in the movies. Vernestra and Ty have this talk about corruption in the order and how it's too closely tied to the republic. But that partnership was never an issue. With republic funding the jedi can do so much more for so many more people than without. The problem was Palpatine and his schemes.
The Yarl slander was not needed e -e
And! So odd for Vernestra to think of her master and her first padawan but never Qimir. Like I thought we'd at least get a taste of what happened between them from her side, but nope!
