Star Wars Adventure!

What an AMAZING adventure! Fun and fast paced following young Padawans Ram and Lula finding the balance and order in the force. I enjoyed even with the force and training, there is still the element of self doubt and questioning what you want for yourself in life. V-18 and the Bonbraks are my absolute favorites! Definitely a great read for new and old Star Wars fans! Thanks NetGalley!

A good standalone book

This was a quick, easy, and generally entertaining book. As a standalone book, it was fairly good; as a book in written the Star Wars universe it was somewhat lacking, in terms of connecting to the details of the genre. One of the Jedi masters has more than one Padawan and is also training a Force practitioner who was too old at the discovery of her ability to be officially trained; these are things that just don't happen in the Star Wars canon, and are therefore somewhat disconcerting to those looking for books that fit the existing parameters. These issues aside, if you are not a stickler for details of the genre, this is a nice read. As with several other books published recently, this book is part of The High Republic subset, dealing with the attempts by the NIhil to overthrow the Republic by destroying hyperspace; as with all of the novels in this collection that I have read, this one has major characters who are all Padawan learners or very recently promoted Jedi Knights, which makes the stories more accessible and interesting to younger readers. Recommended for younger readers and those who don't mind canon inconsistencies.
