A powerful conclusion to one of the most ambitious Star Wars book projects since the New Jedi Order series from the pre-Disney timeline. The mystery of the Nameless and the Blight are fully explained and resolved in a satisfying way. Though this is not *technically* the end of the High Republic era and the start of the prequel era, just enough of a shift is hinted at that you could see this as a starting point. There were also some very satisfying character arcs that came to completion here. That said, if you haven’t read *all* of the books, YA & MG novels, audiobooks, and comic books, there might be some details in here that go over your head or characters that you haven’t encountered before suddenly become more important to this book’s storyline than other characters you really enjoyed. That’s the biggest downside to such a sprawling multimedia project like the High Republic. There were also one or two moments that were built up in previous books that were resolved in a rather anticlimactic way, but this book does wrap the series up in a (mostly) neat bow.
