Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures, Vol. 1 by Daniel José Older

I received an eARC of this title through NetGalley in return for an honest review.

I am fairly impressed with the Star Wars High Republic series. They do such a good job connecting all of the books and graphic novels to each other without making it imperative to read every book. This is a middle grade graphic novel for sure, and I believe it is well categorized. I feel like the pace of the story was well done and engaging. It is not violent but does have some action sequences. I think this is a good graphic novel version of the Star Wars High Republic saga and ties into the current run really well. I thought the art was done well and the story was right for the age group.

Overall this book was mildly entertaining. It’s definitely catered for younger readers. The art was amazing and the plot was simple, yet interesting. I wanted to check it out since I’m a big Star Wars fan!
