Welcome to Litsy!

5/5 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕 A brilliant and heartbreaking book. #starwars #thehighrepublic

These High Republic books are good, but they're so sad!

This was my #bookspin for March.

Day One of #12BooksofChristmas

📚📚📚 This took me 3 months to read. It shouldn‘t have because it‘s action heavy, Jedi-centric, and has good bones as far as THR plots go - it took so long because it‘s boring expositional dumping; all tell and no show. I wasn‘t connected to any character, I didn‘t feel the urgency of the situation. Not a favorite but it should‘ve been. 🙁 #starwarsbuddyread

5th book read during #SuperSeptember @Andrew65 I struggle a little bit with this one in the first chapters, but it was my fault because I‘m reading it out of order. So I needed to look in Google who was who, but after that, it was a quick and fun reading. I was like watching a movie. Few good characters died😢I want to know what is going to happen next. But why they didn‘t follow the force instinct?🤔3.8⭐️

Geez, what a bummer. So, no secret if you've seen any promotional material for this series, but the Nihil destroy Starlight Beacon. This book takes place in the few hours that encompass the event. The book is fine, plenty of action and twists, but Star Wars has always been about hope, and since they are going back in time for the next span of material, it is odd to end on such a downer. Not even an inspirational speech, just despair.

Just as it happened with Thrawn, I liked the third part of the series the best. Still not my favourite (to many things happening, to many characters), but I was rooting for our heroes and felt with them. Gray has enough writing skills to make the best out of it with no doubt.

Now I really wish for many characters to get their own books, so we can get to know them better (Burryaga, Geode).

This is the 3rd book in The High Republic series. In this one Marchion Ro has plans to destroy Starlight Beacon, which he successfully puts into motion. This book is rather creepy and somewhat claustrophobic but good. I loved Burryaga the Wooki padowan 🧡

There isn't anything bad about this book exactly, I'm just not vibing with the series. I find it hard to remember who everyone is or what is going on.

Greetings everyone, September is here, so it's time to jump back into the new republic era with The Fallen Star.
But before that what did everyone think of a Lesser Evil? I really enjoyed it. It was my favorite of the Ascendancy trilogy. I hope there will be some more Thrawn books. I'm going to miss the blue guy.

Here are the next books for our #StarWarsBuddyRead The first 3 are High Republic era, the next 2 head us back to the Clone Wars, then on to the Skywalkers, next the marriage of Leia & Han and finally the prequel for the Rise of Skywalker.
And that -for now- concludes the new cannon, unless I missed one. Next we'll move on to some of the Legends.

10/10:
I cannot believe everything that Claudia manages to accomplish in this novel. The amount of emotion and realism depicted throughout is astounding and there are so many moments that genuinely broke my heart. Needless to say, I‘m crying after finishing this.

“That meant Leox was probably safe…and that made it his responsibility to do what he could” (page 228)

This was disappointing. I usually love Gray‘s writing but this seemed too long and was just…sad. I felt like it was a lot of hurt for not a lot of payoff. Stellan was irritating most of the time and it never gave the big mysterious payoff. Just so so for me.

7/150 While I don't think it was as good as The Rising Storm, I enjoyed this a great deal. Not to spoil the plot, the Jedi are forced to fight for their survival as Nihil saboteurs cripple a major Jedi base. Sadly some of the characters I'd come to like did not survive, but it gave a nice touch of realism to see the Jedi fail for all too human reasons. 4 💥💥💥💥 1/2

Fun read if you're a fan of Star Wars. Even if you‘re not. High stakes, lots of action, a villain with an epic plan, and once again, a reminder that an overreliance on the Force is never good. The only bummer about the book is the wait we have before we learn what happens next—with the announcement that the next phase of The High Republic storyline will take place 150 years before the current one, the wait is going to be hard.

First book mail of the new year. I‘ve really enjoyed The High Republic books—a fun expansion of the Star Wars universe written by some familiar names from Charles Soule, Cavan Scott and Claudia Gray to YA and MG powerhouses like Daniel José Older and Justina Ireland. Best of all, my son will also read Star Wars and when he does, we have the BEST book talks.
