9 short stories all centralized around a certain tragic even for the Jedi and Republic. I enjoyed all the stories, but my top 2 were “Shield of the Jedi” and “All Jedi Walk Their Own Path”.

I wish I had read this before beginning phase 3 in earnest, because it explains some things glossed over in the comics and The Eye of Darkness. It made me all the more excited to read the rest of phase 3 and made me appreciate phase 2 all the more. The ungodly sound I made when it was revealed the Eirami fishing boat Bell worked on was called the Queen Xiri?! My parents were worried for my health.

Nothing to knock your socks off, but a nice collection of stories to cap the first two phases of the High Republic. Meatiest is Tessa Gratton's "A Closed Fist Has No Claws."
