I enjoyed this as a good entry point to the greater High Republic story. It covers the state of the galaxy, the imminent threat, and the balance of power, as well as introducing us to many exciting new characters. The first third of the book is particularly exciting, a true disaster movie rendered in prose. The frenetic pace has a drawback, though: I never felt as though we spent enough time with most of the characters to really get to love them -- and several that I thought I might get there with then died!
