Been a die hard Star Wars fan since 77, but my no means a professional book critic. I was excited to get into the High Republic books especially because it was a departure from the Skywalker story and the beginning of a newer storyline. Though there was lots of good hype about the book and some good details, the pacing was slow, and (for me) the storyline kept dragging out and never kept my interestโฆ. Seemed like more time and details were spent on world building vs telling a solid story that kept me intrigued. Bummed i couldnโt even make it past 3/4 of the book. Hoping to find some new SW adventures that are able to tell a little more tighter and interesting story.
