3.5. This book does help bridge the gap between the high republic books and the acolyte. But I still have so many questions. How did Vernestra come to follow the yoda school of covering shit up?! We were ROBBED when that show was canceled. And yet they will never make me hate my girl. 💚

It’s also hilarious how every time they mentioned a human character’s death from the previous books I’d be like 😱 even though it’s been more than the length of a human lifespan between the two. 😭😭😭

(4/5) Seeing Vernestra be totally done with everyone’s BS is so funny, I hope I become this cool and bitter(sweet) as I grow old

This does a great job of making the THR books and The Acolyte really feel like they are the same world. The way the era when Vern was young is seen as a legendary time reminds me of how characters in the OT and ST look back at preceding eras. And of course, there is a bit of questioning of the ways of the Jedi Order.
