It eschews the usual "Airport" type plot where some massive disaster/attack brings together an unwieldly number of boring Jedi characters. Instead, Cordova brings together a small group of interesting characters (only 1 boring Jedi) who often work together (sometimes against each other) and have interesting dynamics. Following the patterns set forth with the films, Phase II of The High Republic jumps back in time, becoming the prequel to Phase I. Zoraida Córdova’s Convergence is the first adult book in this Phase, following the events of Tessa Gratton and Justina Ireland’s Path of Deceit and George Mann’s Quest for the Hidden City. I'm having a harder time getting into the swing of this Phase. Maybe it's because it is an apparently shortened schedule of books compared to Phase I (there are only 2 rounds of books with Phase II, as opposed to the 3 in Phase I), so I feel we are being rushed in the introductions to these characters and events. This book tackles the Forever War between Eiram and E'ronoh, as the Jedi and the Republic try to help resolve the conflict and broker a peace between to the two planets. There are a lot of characters introduced very quickly, and I found myself becoming confused as to which planet, either Eiram and E'ronoh, we were dealing with at any point. Everything coalesced fairly well at the end, but i don't think it should have taken over 2/3 of the book to finally feel like the action was finally happening. I'll be sticking with these, because Star Wars, but I'm hoping that the followup novel, Cataclysm, is a little more engaging. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:The next adventure in the High Republic begins expanding the new era of Star Wars, with a story set generations before Light of the Jedi. It is an age of exploration. Jedi travel the galaxy, expanding their understanding of the Force and all the worlds and beings connected by it. Meanwhile, the Republic, led by its two chancellors, works to unite worlds in an ever-growing community among near and distant stars. On the close-orbiting planets of Eiram and Eronoh, the growing pains of a galaxy with limited resources but unlimited ambition are felt keenly. The two worlds hatred for each other has fueled half a decade of escalating conflict and now threatens to consume surrounding systems. The last hope for peace emerges when heirs from the planets royal families plan to marry. Before lasting peace can be established, an assassination attempt targeting the couple tilts Eiram and Eronoh back into all-out war. To save both worlds, Jedi Knight Gella Nattai volunteers to uncover the culprit, while Chancellor Kyong appoints her own son, Axel Greylark, to represent the Republics interests in the investigation. But Axels deep distrust of the Jedi sparks against Gellas faith in the Force. Shes never met such a puffed-up, privileged party boy, and hes never met a more self-serious, relentless do-gooder. The harder they work to untangle the shadowy web of the investigation, the more complicated the conspiracy appears to be. With accusations flying and potential enemies in every shadow, the pair will have to work together to have any hope of bringing the truth to light and saving both worlds.

Mix that with little to no action and yeah. I'm glad these have an audience. It just isn't me. ( )
