UGH! I love Star Wars but I especially love Gay Star Wars.

I could say more but y'all this book had sapphics, gay Jedis, grumpy violent cats, badass rogues, and Force spirituality. I was never meant to be objective about this book. I just loved it.

Didn’t like this as much as other High Republic books, but it was still pretty good.

I love that we have an aroace character, and even more that it’s Vern. That girl is cool 🙂

I feel this book is mostly a set-up for the next ones, and it gave me a bit of middle book syndrome vibes. Like it’s trying to be it’s own thing but relies too much on past and future plots. A shame because there were good points in there.

Gay people in MY Star Wars book?!? It’s more likely than you think, but seriously, I love this book and it raised my anxiety levels in all the best ways. I’m really happy that there is so much representation in The High Republic.
