First impression: The High Republic really does bring new meaning to “a long time ago”

My brain keeps trying to categorize this in The Age of Republic or The Age of Rebellion. Remembering that this is a whole new era is hhhhaaaarrrd.

My hold is listed as in-transit, I can't wait!

I shortened the chapters, it’ll be a read for two weeks instead of just one. I hope that helps you out, maybe it gives you a little more time to catch up! I started reading and was like, “whoops. I overestimated my reading abilities”

Thank you! I'm hoping that mine will arrive by the end of this week, but I'm not sure.

I didn’t expect this to be so brutal right off the bat. I love the line (view spoiler)[ “Hedda Casset died, not knowing if she had saved anyone at all” (hide spoiler)]
Soule is writing this crisis well. Like, I barely know these people and yet I still care about them. I’m not used to that, and I think it’s a credit to Soule and the High Republic team.

Discussion question: What do you think is causing this great disaster?
