A fun side story nestled inside The Rising Storm that takes characters from The High Republic Adventures, A Test of Courage, and a fascinating brand new character who uses the Force to work with mechanics. It’s fast and breezy, with less to say than A Test of Courage but has more fun while telling the story. I read this just after finishing Chapter 49 of The Rising Storm figuring that it would fit well and it ended up being the perfect spot to read it.
Fair warning though: I can’t imagine anyone reading this that hasn’t read The High Republic Adventures yet. There is a one-shot of that comic set during this attack, so it’s a good reference for when to read this book too. Lula and Zeen are well worth the time anyway.
