The action is fast, and artwork is kinetic, and I liked how the author drew parallels between Zeen’s and Krix’s experiences, respectively, aboard the Beacon and the Nihil ship, while also contrasting how Zeen blossomed, and Krix became a smaller, meaner, and more cruel version of himself. Meanwhile Krix continues to behave as if all of his unfortunate choices and precarious position aboard Marchion Ro’s ship is totally Zeen’s fault. She and Lula and other young Jedi padawans become good friends as Zeen gets a chance to learn properly about the Force. Zeen is welcomed to Starlight Beacon, and feels accepted for the first time in her life. He leaves with the Nihil and one of Trymant’s leaders, furious with Zeen, and blaming her for his now dangerous situation. The Nihil are also headed to Trymant V to find something, and the Jedi and Nihil clash, with Zeen preventing a disaster by using the Force, and breaking Krix’s trust in her. Trymant V is also a planet with no love for the Jedi, and Zeen’s had a secret for years-she can sense and wield the Force. Krix has protected Zeen for years, and they care a lot for each other. There are two youths there, longtime friends, Krix and Zeen. The Jedi head to Trymant V to prevent Nihil attack. Overall, this collection added enough to the High Republic story to make it worth reading, but it is probably best enjoyed after closing out the novels of the phase 1 series. Qort was also enjoyable, partly because his portrayal forced the reader to contemplate him on the visuals of the graphic novel format alone, and partly because his character still remains largely mysterious. It was good to see him grow from a disillusioned kid with ill-defined anger into a cunning planner whose motivations and ideals were finally beginning to crystallize. The relationship angle, which was the main arc of this comic series, took too much page time away from the worldbuilding, political intrigue, and space fantasy that draw readers to Star Wars in the first place.Ī couple characters stood out as well developed and were enjoyable to follow. The story itself was fairly linear and straightforward, with no real surprises or twists. The crossover to the events and key players in the novels was just enough to anchor the story, and not enough to make the reader remember with each installment that this is a High Republic era story. This series introduces a new slate of characters whose story runs parallel to the action of the High Republic phase 1 novels.
