About this listen

Star Wars: The High Republic, the New York Times best-selling series, continues. . . .

For light and life! One year after the fall of Starlight Beacon, the galaxy is in chaos. An anarchistic group known as the Nihil has taken over a section of space now known as the Occlusion Zone. Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh and scientist Avon Starros team up in an attempt to find a way through the Nihil Stormwall to save those on the other side. But what are the Nihil’s real plans? And what of the nameless creatures that can destroy the Jedi Order?

The battle has just begun. . . .

Tried my best to enjoy it

It was definitly a chore. The narration did zero favors to a pretty all over the place and current "Disney standard".

Another fabulous YA Novel...

For your shelf. Action packed and plenty of updates and stories expanded upon with characters you've come to know and love. This has a fair amount of Vernestra in it. You gotta check it out.

Lesbian love story

Written like a weird romance novel based around a lesbian love triangle more of a love story then a Jedi lore story just an average romance novel

One of the best HR books

Lots of revelations and new questions in this one, and not just relating to Vernestra. Maybe not as good as the Path of books from Phase 2, but definitely better than the phase 1 YA books.

I enjoyed the story.

I like that vernestra didn't cower from fighting back. She didn't spend minutes trying to tell her attackers that she didn't want to kill them. She just took care of business. However, I'm spoiled by Marc Thompson. I enjoyed listening to this person but it was difficult to listen to certain parts.

Boring

Disney messing up a good story. Please let’s have better narrators in the next book.

Narrator is hard to listen to

Story was good as always. I love Amber's voice, but the way she enunciates every single letter is distracting, especially because it causes her reading to feel almost metered, with pauses that are just slightly too long between words. It feels very nitpicky, and probably is, but unfortunately these things do impact the overall audiobook experience.

Drawn out and kind of boring

Narrator seemed bored with the content. Very monotone with little to no enthusiasm. Story just kind of dragged on. This high republic series has been hit or miss, this one is a miss. Better off skipping

Lackluster Narration

Narration was pretty monotone throughout and not much change in voice inflection from character to character. Story was good overall though.

Slow moving Star Wars book

Star Wars mega fan here so it’s tough for me to criticize ….. but this is a verrrrrryyyyy slow progressing book….. rather boring and my least favorite of all the High Republic books to date….

Barely moved the battle along between the Republic & Nihil……. They ‘might’ have figured out a way through the Stormwall by the end…..

Seemed much more interested in promoting woke relationships that getting down to real Star Wars and High Republic nitty gritty…..

C’mon…… do better…..
