The Acolyte: Wayseeker by Justina Ireland
3.0

I really loved The Acolyte and was so excited to get some more content, but this book has very little do the with the show and is more of a High Republic book. It's bogged down with THR references that I imagine would be confusing for people who haven't read any of those books. I understand they need to leave storylines open in case they're able to bring the show back, but Vernestra, Indara, and a vague reference to a past padawan are the only parts of this book that relate to the show. One of the best qualities of The Acolyte was that someone with limited Star Wars knowledge could jump right in without being lost and I feel this book is the opposite, expecting readers to know all about the Nihil, Valo, Stellan, and other THR events and characters
