I can’t believe the first person chronologically apart from Azlin to learn about Kevmo and Zallah’s murders is a 15 year old I am deceased myself
At least someone knows now (apart from fucking Azlin)! And Silandra knew them! Big news!
Also this book is simultaneously stressful and not, because these kids do not know what they are messing with and if they actually accomplish their goal of reaching Planet X that’s going to be Bad, but also because I’m backtracking I also know they don’t haha, at least Rooper survives to be knighted in the short story and the ship is still there for Marda & Co to find in Path of Vengeance.
I thought at first this also felt ‘younger’ than the other Phase II middle grade book but dang this chapter’s turning that around
"We go to the temple when we are very young and the Jedi become our family."
#JEDI ARE NOT WESTERN NUCLEAR FAMILIES BUT THEY ARE STILL JUST AS MUCH FAMILY TO EACH OTHER
#A MASTER IS NOT YOUR PARENT BUT THEY ARE STILL PART OF YOUR FAMILY
(Star Wars: The High Republic: Quest for Planet X)
wait wait wait Rooper knows too much to stay alive through this book but it's a middle-grade book so they aren't gonna kill her but maybe she doesn't know the Nameless and the Leveler are connected but she would have gone with this knowledge to a master or at least to Silandra so is her memory gonna be erased because they really can't kill her right
