Finally making some time to catch up on #StarWarsBuddyRead

This is my first High Republic novel and I really enjoyed it, especially J-6 (who doesn‘t love a droid with attitude). Although a MG book, it handled topics such as grief and integrity really well. I‘m looking forward to more of these novels.

I listened to the audio version. The narrator's voice was a little cutesy at times, which is understandable since most of the characters are children, but it wasn't my favorite. Entertaining, with some intriguing bits left hanging at the end. Not sure if I should expect them to come into play in the higher aged entries or comics.

Hey everyone! I'm taking over for @Riveted_Reader_Melissa for #StarWarsBuddyRead This month's book A Test of Courage I throughly enjoyed. I know it's a little early but what are everyone thoughts so far?
Also here is a quiz if you're interested to see what High Republic villain you are

A great Star Wars middle grade read. Vernestra, Imri, Avon, J-6 & Honesty are on a luxury liner headed to Starlight Beacon when bombs start going off. Vernestra who is a newly made Jedi knight & Imri a padawan help the others escape & then end up stranded on uninhabited planet.

A great addition to the young Star Wars catalog! The characters are of an age a middle-grade reader can relate too & they each experience a big, scary event with different emotions which the reader can understand. A very simplified but age-appropriate look into politics, emotions, & acts of violence. Characters are enjoyable, story has plenty of suspense & action for kids. 📚📚📚📚 #starwarsbuddyread

I'm reviewing this one before the last book we read for the #StarWarsBuddyRead - but I just enjoyed this one here so much, I just have to. Of course, when Justina Ireland writes a book, it turns out well. This one here even turned out very well. I got a deep connection with the characters, and it was great, how Ireland wrote about Dark Side and its promises. It always felt nice to continue reading this book, and I'm somewhat sad, ⬇

I‘ve not read many Star Wars junior novels but I really liked this. I actually ended up with the physical book and audiobook at the same time, so I went for audio. I love these group of kids and hope we get to hear more of them. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is the second entry into the High Republic era of Star Wars and I‘ve gotta say, the story is a BLAST. We meet some wonderful new Jedi as well as children of politicians as they work to survive after disaster strikes.

This is geared towards young readers, however, I found lots of joy in the story told, the feelings of each character, and potential impacts on adults like me. This book would be great for Star Wars fans of any age!

“You cannot judge yourself by others, Imri. You can only judge yourself by your own efforts.” Good advice left by Imri‘s master.

Came home from work with only one ARC but oh what an ARC! Excited to dive into the world of Star Wars The High Republic. I‘m starting with the MG book, my co-worker the YA, and then we‘ll switch. I can‘t say much about it—at least until the embargo date has passed—but I will say a chance to read this book early makes the day just a little bit better.
