Light of the Jedi
by Charles Soule
adventurous
challenging
emotional
hopeful
tense
fast-paced
Loveable characters:
Yes
We are all the republic frfr ✊
Positives:
- I love being in a brand new Star Wars Saga & right off the bat I feel like this could be truly the next big 9 movie/3 trilogy Star Wars franchise with a High Republic tv show eventually to mirror the clone wars like I can see it so clearly in front of me.
- I thought this was a really cool story & narrative & I loved so many of the characters and this made me really excited to continue on and read the rest of these
- I was pleasantly surprised at the tone of this as well? I was honestly expecting a lighthearted romp of Jedi in their prime in a very positive light, and how much morally greyness and complexity was in this reaaaaaaalllyyyy surprised me
- wookie jedi :) <3
Negatives:
- what lowered my rating so much was honestly I do not feel like this was a very accessible entry point to this saga (which is very irritating), & I would not be surprised if many dnf this or choose not to continue because it’s so confusing. This really just throws you into the middle of everything with absolutely no explanation or guidance in a way that feels really pretentious honestly in like a “if you’re a true Star Wars fan you’ll get it” kind of way, & it’s really annoying. I’m a huge Star Wars fan, & there’s a lot I’m walking away from this confused by still. (What made me even finish this at all is the high praise this entire saga gets, AND that most high republic fans seem to have a common consensus that this is the worst high republic novel & to push through as the rest are better 🤷🏼♀️
Ultimately:
- I really enjoyed and was locked into the story (even though elements of the mechanics of how things worked/who people were/their intentions were confusing and hard to follow at times)
- I loved a lot of the characters and their dynamics with each other
- some moments I was on the edge of my seat & I also almost even teared up at times???
- I’m very excited to read more of these and see the bigger story happening and where this is all going!!!
