After heartily enjoying A Test of Courage I was excited for Justina Ireland’s next High Republic book， the young adult novel Out of the Shadows。 I will unabashedly say Vernestra Rwoh is my favorite character of this era and I know Ireland’s writing is a huge part of that。 I loved that one of the main characters of this novel is a simple woman trying to make her way through the galaxy like her mother。 Sylvestri Yarrow is a human pilot and trader。 She is just trying to keep her family business goi After heartily enjoying A Test of Courage I was excited for Justina Ireland’s next High Republic book， the young adult novel Out of the Shadows。 I will unabashedly say Vernestra Rwoh is my favorite character of this era and I know Ireland’s writing is a huge part of that。 I loved that one of the main characters of this novel is a simple woman trying to make her way through the galaxy like her mother。 Sylvestri Yarrow is a human pilot and trader。 She is just trying to keep her family business going but the Nihl were attacking every ship they could。 I liked seeing the state of the galaxy from an everyday person’s point of view。This personally is now in my top ten favorite Star Wars books。 The character focused narrative appealed to me。 。。。more

Thanks to NetGalley and the team at PRH for providing a copy early。 Out of the Shadows is the YA entry by Justina Ireland in the 2nd wave of High Republic content。。。and it's really good。 It's much more character-driven than The Rising Storm and allows for some great moments of growth and interaction between the cast， which is a mix of familiar phases across the publishing initiative so far and new ones。 It's high on adventure， stakes and Jedi but also layered characters with interesting motivati Thanks to NetGalley and the team at PRH for providing a copy early。 Out of the Shadows is the YA entry by Justina Ireland in the 2nd wave of High Republic content。。。and it's really good。 It's much more character-driven than The Rising Storm and allows for some great moments of growth and interaction between the cast， which is a mix of familiar phases across the publishing initiative so far and new ones。 It's high on adventure， stakes and Jedi but also layered characters with interesting motivations。 Ireland delivers yet again。 Full review at the link here: https://screenhub。blog/2021/06/14/sta。。。 。。。more

Out of the Shadows by Justina Ireland review copy wonderfully provided by @disneybooks 。 Due for release on 27th July。 Sylvestri Yarrow is desperately trying to cling onto the only life she knows after the death of her mother and it's not going so well。 Forced into seeking help on Coruscant she finds herself embroiled in a plot of intrigue and murder amongst the rich and influential。 Meanwhile Vernestra Rwoh and her Padawan Imri， still coping with the trauma of the disaster on Valo， are summoned Out of the Shadows by Justina Ireland review copy wonderfully provided by @disneybooks 。 Due for release on 27th July。 Sylvestri Yarrow is desperately trying to cling onto the only life she knows after the death of her mother and it's not going so well。 Forced into seeking help on Coruscant she finds herself embroiled in a plot of intrigue and murder amongst the rich and influential。 Meanwhile Vernestra Rwoh and her Padawan Imri， still coping with the trauma of the disaster on Valo， are summoned to Coruscant to help settle a dispute， accompanied by Jedi Master Cohmac Vitus and his new Padawan Reath Silas。 They soon find themselves trying to navigate through the same clandestine plot together， with less and less success as each twist and turn reveals itself。 In a somewhat sequel to both Ireland's A Test of Courage and Claudia Gray's Into the Dark Ireland weaves a complex and captivating plot that is absolutely sold by it's incredible characters。 Sylvestri Yarrow is one of the strongest and most well rounded characters in the High Republic so far。 She's the most grounded reader avatar we've had and I can't wait to read more of her。 Its also worth noting how deftly Ireland has captured the voice of Cohmac and Reath， providing a seamless transition from Gray's story。 The closest comparison in terms of tone and content would be Into the Dark but even then this very much feels like it's own thing， taking a pinch of the family politics of Bloodline， a dash of the wit of Doctor Aphra and a small portion of the charm of street level stories like Most Wanted， A Crash of Fate or even A New Dawn。 This will fill the hole left in you after the monumental The Rising Storm by @cavanscottwriter and I can comfortably say this is Ireland's best Star Wars book。 YA suits her tremendously and I can't wait to see what she does next。 。 。。。more

***I received an eARC of this book from Disney Books via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 Thank you！***I am really invested in the High Republic novels。 I like the new characters （it's really nice to see focus on padawans and their journey to becoming Jedi knights）， and the new baddies。 Though the J and YA novels have their own plots， they're loosely tied to the adult trilogy that's progressing， and I like to see those connections。 I am looking forward to the rest of these books。 ***I received an eARC of this book from Disney Books via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 Thank you！***I am really invested in the High Republic novels。 I like the new characters （it's really nice to see focus on padawans and their journey to becoming Jedi knights）， and the new baddies。 Though the J and YA novels have their own plots， they're loosely tied to the adult trilogy that's progressing， and I like to see those connections。 I am looking forward to the rest of these books。 。。。more

It has been a few months since the Nihil attacked the Republic Fair on Valo， causing countless deaths， and the combined forces of the Jedi and the Republic have amped up their brutal counterattacks against the feared Outer Rim pirates。 （READ MORE: https://yourmoneygeek。com/review-just。。。） Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh is still working through a complex awry of feelings in the wake of the attack on Valo， though they’re not quite as complex as the feelings that Padawan Reath Silas is having about one It has been a few months since the Nihil attacked the Republic Fair on Valo， causing countless deaths， and the combined forces of the Jedi and the Republic have amped up their brutal counterattacks against the feared Outer Rim pirates。 （READ MORE: https://yourmoneygeek。com/review-just。。。） Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh is still working through a complex awry of feelings in the wake of the attack on Valo， though they’re not quite as complex as the feelings that Padawan Reath Silas is having about one particular Nihil he met during the events of Into the Dark。 Between the three High Republic novels， Justina Ireland’s Out of the Shadows is the most character-rich story。 While there is no driving central plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat， like with The Rising Storm or Race to Crashpoint Tower， Ireland’s novel delves deep into its four central protagonists， developing their personalities and personal quests。 Of course， that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a plot in the novel， but Out of the Shadows feels like it’s building out a much bigger web of stories that will be picked up in the next phase of novels。 Sylvestri “Syl” Yarrow has a chip off her shoulder and for good reason。 Her mother upped and abandoned her on the planet Tiikae， her girlfriend left her to become a deputy， and most recently she lost her beloved ship Switchback to the Nihil。 Fortunately， or maybe unfortunately， for Syl the events of Out of the Shadows cause her to cross paths with not only her ex Jordanna， but her mother too。 If you have been waiting to see how The High Republic would utilize the San Tekka legacy， look no further than Out of the Shadows。 So many of the questions we had following the first wave of The High Republic find their answers in Justina Ireland’s novel and those answers build onto larger questions。 Reath is still the sweet bookish boy that we all fell in love with while reading Into the Dark， but the events of that novel have had an effect on him。 He’s a little braver， a little more certain of himself and his future， and a little hung up on the betrayal of the Nihil saboteur Nan。 I anxiously await and hope for the day that we get a novel where the Nihil are the central points of view because I adored every single one of Nan’s chapters。 It was so refreshing to see how she interacts with her fellow Nihil， as well as how she survives on her wit and skill。 Nan ushered in so much added context about the Nihil， how they function， and even some humorous commentary on my favorite bad boy Marchion Ro。 While Marchion Ro’s presence is woefully lacking in the novel， there are story elements and choices made that will have direct and intriguing ramifications on not only him but the Nihil at large。 Justina Ireland is such a talented writer。 It’s one of the reasons A Test of Courage was my favorite novel in the first wave of The High Republic。 She has this way of effortlessly taking us on a journey that is equal parts of rollicking adventure and an emotional journey for the young protagonists。 I read a lot of YA novels and I have yet to come across a writer as gifted as Justina is at making me care， deeply， about characters that are so much younger than myself。 Each character is given a full roster of interests， desires， motivations， and flaws。 Vernestra and Nan have both jumped up the list of favorite High Republic characters for me， ranking among Marchion Ro， Lula Talisola， Elzar Mann， and Farzala Tarabal。 Out of the Shadows is a well-orchestrated symphony of character building， bookended with the unfurling of much larger and overarching plots that will， without a doubt， play a pivotal part in the future of The High Republic。 。。。more

One thing that makes a truly good Young Adult novel stand out from the crowd is strong character work， and Out of the Shadows meets and exceeds this expectation in a big way。Set a few months after the events of The Rising Storm and Race to Crashpoint Tower， this books follows a group of characters all dealing with the emotional and logistical fallout of the disaster at the Republic Fair。 Some， like Sylvestri Yarrow， are characters we are meeting for the first time。 But we also get to catch up wi One thing that makes a truly good Young Adult novel stand out from the crowd is strong character work， and Out of the Shadows meets and exceeds this expectation in a big way。Set a few months after the events of The Rising Storm and Race to Crashpoint Tower， this books follows a group of characters all dealing with the emotional and logistical fallout of the disaster at the Republic Fair。 Some， like Sylvestri Yarrow， are characters we are meeting for the first time。 But we also get to catch up with some of our favourites from the last wave of books， like Jedi Knight Vernestra， her padawan Imri， and fellow master/student combo Cohmac and Reath。 The Nihil are building some mysterious weapon in a disputed corner of the galaxy。 Though on the surface the book is about larger than life conflict， it’s worth noting that Justina Ireland manages to thread in a clever commentary about colonization and capitalism that goes a long way to explaining why the characters behave in the way that they do。 It’s hard to pick out a single instance of this - and I wouldn’t want to deprive you of the joy of discovery anyway - because it is so layered in every facet of the story， and the characters。 Not a single character at any point believes that they’re in the wrong， as much as they might believe the others are wrong for acting as they do。 It’s a rare novel that can make you root for *everyone*， but Out of the Shadows does exactly that。[READ FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW: https://thegeekywaffle。com/home/2021/。。。]Special thank you to Lucasfilm and Disney Publishing for an advance copy of this book for review purposes。 。。。more

Giving this a 5 star review， because I refuse to let a bunch of whiny fanboys tank the rating of a book that has a 1 sentence description， and isn’t even out yet。 Will leave another review once I’ve read it :）
