Star Wars: The High Republic: Out of the Shadows
ByPublisher Description
Another exciting adventure from the #1 New York Times best-selling series! The darkest secrets are the hardest to bring to light.... Sylvestri Yarrow is on a streak of bad luck with no end of sight. She's been doing her best to keep the family cargo business going after her mom's death, but between mounting debt and increasing attacks by the Nihil on unsuspecting ships, Syl is in danger of losing all she has left of her mother. She heads to the galactic capital of Coruscant for help, but gets sidetracked when she's drawn into a squabble between two of the Republic's most powerful families over a patch of space on the frontier. Tangled up in familial politics is the last place Syl wants to be, but the promise of a big payoff is enough to keep her interested… Meanwhile, Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh has been summoned to Coruscant, but with no idea of why or by whom. She and her Padawan Imri Cantaros arrive at the capital along with Jedi Master Cohmac Vitus and his Padawan, Reath Silas—and are asked to assist with the property dispute on the frontier. But why? What is so important about an empty patch of space? The answer will lead Vernestra to a new understanding of her abilities, and take Syl back to the past…and to truths that will finally come out of the shadows. Don't miss any of the adventure and excitement of Star Wars: The High Republic! Into the Dark by Claudia Gray A Test of Courage by Justina Ireland Race to Crashpoint Tower by Daniel José Older

“This book isn't nearly as heavy (tone wise) as the previous novel so it was a nice break before the heartbreak continues.
My favorite part of this book was being able to catch back up with Vernestra and Imiri, who we had only really seen in the middle grades books up until now, and getting to reconnect with Reath who I really missed in the past few books.
UPDATE: Upon second read, I lowered the rating from a 4.75... This is a fine book but written in a way that really screams "YA". Also... I really *really* dislike Jordana and Sil and that wasn't helped by the lack-luster narration of the audiobook.”
“This book was my least favorite of the High Republic books I’ve read so far, this being said it was far from being a book I didn’t enjoy.
I think I missed the action and I wished there was more but in this book I did love the characters.
Vernestra continues to make me laugh and I relate to her in a lot of ways, I liked the exploration of the hardships of her being so young and having so much responsibility.
This book, while not my favorite, was still a good one.”
“For anyone considering reading this while going through The High Republic era. This book is the almost literal definition of a filler episode. Very little things happen with any real consequence to the series. A lot of characters were added and I personally found it difficult to try and understand them. The Jedi Knight was really interesting and I'd love to see more of her. The pilot, Syl, was also interesting enough.
I think my biggest hang up all together is that I listened to the audiobook. Honestly the Voice Actress gets a 1/5⭐ for reading very monotone and not having the ability to make different characters sound different. I wanna reread a physical copy one day and see if that helps me follow the story better.”
