Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
After the events of The High Republic: Convergence, the Jedi travel to Jedha in this Star Wars audiobook original.
Jedha. The worn streets of this ancient world serve as a confluence for the galaxy. Visited by all, yet owned by none. Here, the Jedi are but one creed among many worshipping and studying the Force. From the Guardians of the Whills to the Path of the Open Hand, countless beings come to learn, and to share, in peace.
As all of Jedha prepares for its Festival of Balance, the galaxy still reels from the violence on Eiram and E'ronoh. But after foiling a plot to escalate the war between the two planets, the Jedi believe that a lasting peace may be within reach. Master Creighton Sun and Jedi Knight Aida Forte arrive on Jedha with delegations from both planets to formally end the "Forever War". The Jedi hope that the harmony of Jedha's many factions, along with the signing of a peace treaty, will create a symbol to the rest of the galaxy of what can be accomplished through unity.
But not all are happy with the Jedi's involvement or ready to concern themselves with peace. Rumors begin to swirl that the Jedi bring war in their wake. The distrust and anger that for so long fuelled the Forever War now threaten to corrupt the communities of Jedha. When violence breaks out on the sacred moon, the war that was meant to end on Jedha may soon engulf the entire world.

This theatrical version, I don't like. it makes carraters sound a bit simple ... a shame I my opinion.

Weak for Star Wars
I've listened to many Star Wars books, and this was the worst. I'm glad it was not a long listen, as it would have put me on the edge. I wouldn't say I liked the theatrical format, as it felt like watching a TV show with my eyes closed. There are too many characters, and it's better with one narrator playing multiple characters. I'm on to book three, and I believe the format is back to normal.

A pressure cooker of a city is about to explode
Bringing the two major plotlines from Path of Deceit and Convergence together, the bubbling animosity meet the meddling Path's machinations to deliver one hell of a fight.
The story jumps well between a good number of perspectives as we build up to and fight through the conflict. It's a lot tighter than previous moments in The High Republic, like Rising Storm and Fallen Star, there are often too many characters to jump between.
Jedha succeeds as an audio play by having unique actors embodying the roles so jumping around is a lot easier.
I really enjoyed this story and look forward to where the aftermath takes us.

Not good
The first hour and a half is characters being introduced, giving exposition for other books, and awkwardly laughing. That's over a quarter of the play.
There tend to be 2 types of star wars books, those in which a good writer concentrates on 1-2 characters (usually interesting ones established in films), focuses on what they're doing and has the occasional slice of other perspectives for context, and those where the writer/writing group make up 5 protagonists and a mass of side characters who you don't care about because we don't get to know them and they're typically poorly writen.
this is the latter.
The writing is so full of cliches it is infuriating. The performance of the cast is poor, though mercifully not just Marc Thompson overacting every line.

Don't bother!
I quite enjoyed phase 2 of the two High Republic books. Sure there's been better books. I thought this might be an interesting filler, but what a boring pointless audio. You wouldn't miss anything of the main story if you didn't listen to this. Great actors though, just shame all that talent was wasted on this
