5/25/2023 0 Comments Justina irelandTaking place a few months after the disaster of The Republic Fair, Ireland’s new book has the Jedi taking the threat of the monstrous Nihil a lot more seriously. Ireland also has Vernestra meet a new character, the often unimpressed Sylvestri Yarrow. Rwoh crosses paths with Reath Silas and Cohmac Vitus, both introduced in Gray’s novel Into the Dark. Though Vernestra was seen in both of those previous books, she comes to the forefront of Ireland’s new YA novel, Out of the Shadows. Now, Ireland is back to close out Wave 2, which has so far featured extreme tumult as well as Jedi randiness thanks to Cavan Scott and The Rising Storm, as well as Race to Crashpoint Tower by Older. In Wave 1 of the initiative, she introduced readers to Jedi prodigy Vernestra Rwoh (and the highly empathic Padawan Imri Cantaros) in the middle-grade book A Test of Courage. Justina Ireland is one of the five “Project Luminous” authors, a group that also includes Claudia Gray, Daniel José Older, Charlies Soule, and Cavan Scott. The multiple books (adult, YA, and middle grade) and comics all intertwine together, with five authors working in harmony to craft a massive, sprawling history. The stories that fall under the banner of Star Wars: The High Republic aren’t only unique because they take place hundreds of years before the Skywalker Saga.
