A fun adventure more along the vein of “Star Trek” with “Star Wars” elements as characters explore (strange) new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, and boldly go where no Jedi has gone before.
Set 150 years before “Light of the Jedi,” this book tackles themes of greed, betrayal, and loss that will resonate both with middle-grade and adult readers. I liked the characters and the mystery behind it. The concept of Pathfinders and Prospectors seeking new hyperspaces lanes was compelling. But again, these concepts are very “Star Trek-y.” The pace was good and the plot interesting. It was a quick, enjoyable read.
I followed the reading guide and read this before “Star Wars: Convergence,” but apparently the last chapter includes a major spoiler for “Convergence” (I’m pretty sure I can guess what that is). Thus, readers be warned.

⭐ Fast Paced🪐 Space Horror💚 Adventure🏕️ SurvivalThis was the first time I read a High Republic middle grade novel and was not disappointed.We follow two stories that eventually weave together. In one corner, we have Dass who is stranded on a mysterious planet with his father. Then in another with have a Padawan, Rooper, who is following her master on a mission to find a group of lost Pathfinders.The narrative as a whole is soaked with horror. There are creatures lurking in the planet that both parties end up on. They travel through forgotten ruins learning a horrific truth before realizing who is at fault for the tragedies that happen.Everything about the book is fun, fast paced, and the type of book I wish I read as a child because even as an adult it left me feeling inspired.
