YES! This is what I'm talking about! I absolutely loved this book. Everything about it was so well executed and developed.
I am now an Elzar Mann fangirl. That man is my new favourite and I will take no criticism on his character. He is perfect in deep imperfections.I really thought he'd turned when they tricked Amarant and I was fully prepared for a deep dive into dark side Elzar fanfiction, though I am happy he didn't fall any further. His story mirrors Anakin's a bit ("The Nihil were acting like animals, and like animals they'd be put down"!!!!), which is probably why I've latched on to him so hard.
Also Elzar/Stellan/Avar OT3 for the win! Give e a proper QPR with those three please! (Yes, I know what happens in The Fallen Star. Don't shatter my dreams.)
There were a few little Disney easter eggs that will probably get on people's nerves, but the United in Song thing made me laugh so hard! I think Cavan Scott has suffered through It's A Small World one too many times...
All in all, a magnificent book that I wish I'd been able to read before The Fallen Star, but am so glad I finally got around to. The High Republic books just keep on slapping.
