Thanks! I hope to get the other HR books. If this is any indicator, then I wouldn’t get Into the Dark until early Feb.

How fast do you read? Two books in a day?!
I wish I could do that.

I can’t do that all days. I needed to do that to get several ARC reviews done. I spend a lot of time on my Kindle when I finish that much.

I really like the book A Test of Courage!
Review is below
Star Wars: A Test of Courage by Justina Ireland
This book was an ARC from NetGalley. I don’t get paid(except to keep the ARC) to write these. I also don’t get paid to give these 5 Star reviews.
The High Republic is finally here!! Starting from Project Luminous and finally rolled out now, after many delays!
Here is my review.
Things I liked
-New villain(We have seen too many dark jedi/Sith)
- J-6, a great droid
-The people grieving for Jedi (view spoiler) killed early in the book
-The(view spoiler)
-Starlight Beacon(view spoiler)
-The jungle world of (view spoiler)
-A female young Jedi Knight(if you want one of those, the best place to find them is New Republic and beyond Legends books)
Things I didn’t like
-The ending felt rushed
-The fact that ~200 years before TPM, they are still exploring the outer rim, not like (spoilers for Clone Wars: Wild Space)(view spoiler)
End Review
Who else got this as an ARC?
If someone made this into a movie, it would have to be PG-13, in my opinion. What do you think about the book?

I did as well. I also liked Bloodline by Claudia Gray and all her other SW books so far.

I have a review out. Check it out If u want!


message 19: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca | 962 comments Hailey, ARC, in this case, means Advance Reader Copy. In Clone Wars novels it stands for a specific type of special ops clone.

Hailey, Akindle is a member of NetGaley and gets some books before they're published in exchange for an honest review.

Fingers crossed you can get it! Do the ARC books look like the regular production books, or do they have a special cover? The Greater Good production cover they teased looks pretty neat.

Normally Arc has same cover. Thanks 4 the encouragement.

Kim | 45 comments We're you able to get an advanced copy for any of the HR books releasing this summer?

I'm trying, Kim! I only have a 64% review average on NG, but have profile catered to HR books, so let's hope I'll get an email saying that I got them!
