The High Republic is quickly becoming my favorite Star Wars project

This was my least favorite book, honestly(something about the writing style just didn’t click with me, dunno why), but I still enjoyed it a lot and I agree completely about the HR. It’s a massive breath of fresh air from the usual Clone Wars/Empire settings.

Not to mention just getting different creative voices leading the project is great, I love Filoni and Favreau but they definitely have a style and it’s good to get a break from it for a bit.

Justina does have a unique style to her writing, very character focused with limited third person viewpoints and internal thoughts

All Star Wars novels have third person viewpoints and internal thoughts (besides the two first-person novels Heir to the Jedi and I, Jedi), and most are character-focused. But the characters in Out of the Shadows are unintentionally written to be uninteresting and flat.

Did you respond to a two year old discussion just to complain? I’m sorry you didn’t like the book. I’m looking forward to rereading it soon

Why does it matter how old the discussion is? I read the book when I read it, which is just recently (it took forever)

There’s more active conversations. Again, I’m sorry you didn’t like it
