Star Wars: The High Republic, Book 5

De: Tessa Gratton

Narrado por: Marc Thompson

The reunited Jedi prepare to strike back against the ruthless Nihil in this thrilling sequel to Star Wars: The Eye of Darkness.

For over a year, Jedi Masters Avar Kriss and Elzar Mann were kept apart by the Nihil’s Stormwall. After Avar makes a daring escape from inside the Occlusion Zone, the star-crossed Jedi are reunited. But while the physical distance between them has evaporated, their shared grief over their failure to protect the galaxy from the Nihil threat remains.

To rally the Jedi Order and the Republic, Avar and Elzar cling to their belief in serving Light and Life. Together, they lead a daring mission into Nihil space to liberate the planet of Naboo and show those trapped behind the Stormwall that the Jedi will never abandon them. Now back within close orbit of each other, the two Jedi Masters can no longer deny the bond that has always drawn them back together and made them stronger.

After finally embracing their true desires and imbued with renewed purpose, Avar and Elzar devise a plan to turn the tide of the conflict with the Nihil once and for all. Accompanied by Jedi Knights Bell Zettifar, Burryaga, and Vernestra Rwoh, the Jedi begin their hunt for Marchion Ro. But to seek out the Nihil’s dangerous leader, the Jedi will have to survive the Nameless terrors that thus far they have been powerless to stop.

The High Republic continues to excel

Honestly? I love the high republic series especially this phase. Another great read. Highly recommend

Excellent, it remains.

The story adds depth to the complex nature of the force. I truly enjoyed the vivid sounds and the pace of this Star Wars story. Thank you.

Great Chapter of this Story

I enjoyed this addition to the High Republic saga. Marchion is as a dummy and conniving as ever. Porter Engel is one of the best Jedi in the series. I also enjoyed the deepening relationship between Elzar and Avar. Highly recommended

Temptation of the Force

this novel has me on the edge of my seat multiple times. The ending was intense

Tempted am I

there's nothing to dislike. I was stressed from the first second to the last. it was a very entertaining ride!

the narrator

I loved the pace of the story and how the narrator brought the characters to life

One of the High Republic's Best!

I don't usually give a 5 star across the board but this one deserves it and more. Easily one of the best High Republic novels.

Best pacing

You’re living in the world in this one because of the pacing; everything has hit its stride: lovely stuff

this needs to be a movie or series

great story and characters. an the of your seat ready with a bit of love mixed in. the high Republic story should be a movie or series.

Amazing! Marchion Ro is a MANIAC!

Such an improvement over the last HR book I read, Defy the Storm. Loved this so much. Marchion is so much more interesting in this than he was in Eye of Darkness. The romance was great and felt believable and real. The battles sprinkled throughout felt surreal, viscous, and paint an amazing picture in your mind. Loved this and can’t wait for the last book in the adult line of HR books. If you don’t like how Disney has handled Star Wars in recent years, then the adult HR books are a MUST read. So good!
