Although set during the era of the New Republic in the Expanded Universe, this story - base off of a Star Wars roleplaying game - has the benefit of fitting into either the traditional EU or the rubbish Disney timelines. It's about as stand-alone as you can get, and has no effect on anything else Star Wars. This aspect was quite refreshing (much like some of the Mandalorian TV series).
The story itself was of a murder mystery with further intrigue going on and the main character was a Jedi who skills are more in the academical than physical. This again was quite refreshing as we had a character who couldn't just use the Force every time to get out of a situation.
The big reveal was kind of obvious, but the journey getting there was enjoyable. A satisfying tale with characters I would be happy to see again.
