This book was OK. It continued doing some of what I liked about Path of Deceit (discussion of the Path of the Open Hand and how it's cult manipulates it's members) only to interrupt it with some of the broader strokes of the overall storyline. I felt the characters introduced were good and look forward to seeing how they fit into everything going forward. I liked the writing style and framing it in the midst of this war between to close worlds was interesting, but dragged in the middle and then unnecessarily sped up at the end.

Phase 2 of the High Republic is here to turn my brain into mush. I LOVE the characters, the setting was very interesting, and I relished on every plot-twist and turn.
This is very much a character book, as the plot (at least the first 75%) isn't that complex. There are some mysteries and tensions here and there, but you know exactly where it's going.
I really appreciate the dark turn and the dramatics (whenever a book can make something overdramatic without turning silly I eat it up), and Gella, Axel, Phan-Tu and Xiri were definitely the best assemble we've got in the project so far.

Fun, but it didn’t sell me on the new time period.
