Summary

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

For light and life! Journey to the embattled Occlusion Zone in this action-packed adventure set hundreds of years before the Skywalker saga! It’s a dark and dangerous time for the galaxy in which communication has been rendered nearly impossible in Nihil-controlled space as the nefarious pirates continue to threaten the Republic’s very existence.

Join Jedi Padawan Ram Jomaram—and some Jedi younglings—as they plot their escape from enemy territory. Hopeful Jedi younglings will have to work together to overcome their fears in order to survive—and help save the galaxy.

Pronouns over story

A young reader book aimed at 8-12 year olds, but with a forced agenda.

A story centred on a group of young Jedi aged around 10-12.. One turns out to be a Trans girl, and the other 2 Gay and in love with each. Plus a 4th joins them who is non-binary. What are the odds of that? And is this really appropriate when the book is aimed at 8 year olds?

It also makes no sense since Jedi are taught to block emotion from a very early age. You wouldn't have trans Jedi because gender identity would not be a thing if you removed all emotion.

And the character Zyle Keem being Zabrak is the most unlikely candidate to be non-binary if you know anything about their species.

It all just felt like a forced agenda pushed by the authors and/or Disney onto this book. And not appropriate for the age this book is aimed at.

it also made the book a bit confusing when it's taking about a group of people. Sometimes referring to one as he/she and then another as they/them. Using terms that are normally used to mean a group of people as a pronoun doesn't work in a book conversation happening between a group of characters as you could equally be referring to them as a collective.

Disappointing.
