 Hello! Welcome to my blog! 

My name is Ash, I use she/they pronouns and I am 24 years old. I am currently a student of Creative Writing & Publishing at Sheridan College in Ontario, Canada. I have a lifelong passion for reading and writing, and talking about the things that I enjoy. This is my outlet for that. 

Primarily, I will be sharing reviews from books that I have read (most of them Star Wars at this current time, as it is a passion of mine), and occasionally snippets of my own writing that I have done myself. 

I am also a Founding Member of The Storyteller's Tavern, a TTRPG podcast and website that focuses on inclusion, diversity, and breaking down gatekeeping in the community. 

Finally, feel free to follow me on social media. You can find me on Twitter and TikTok @ashofclanwren. 

Thank you so much for visiting my blog, and I hope you enjoy my thoughts on what I've been reading.

Path of Vengeance by Cavan Scott (5/5) [CONTAINS SPOILERS]

-
Path of Vengeance by Cavan Scott is the second YA novel of Star Wars: The High Republic phase two. This novel encapsulates the events of the Battle of Jedha and the Battle of Dalna, with the Battle for the Path in between the two. These events have previously been seen through other perspectives in The Battle of Jedha by George Mann (audiobook), Cataclysm by Lydia Kang (adult novel), Quest for Planet X (middle grade novel) by Tessa Gratton, and The High Republic by Cavan Scott (comics). One of the biggest drawbacks from this book, through no fault of Scott or his co-writers in the initiative, is the fact that it does spoil the comics, as some have not come out yet due to delays. However, I find the story intriguing enough that knowing how it ends isn’t going to remove my enjoyment of the ending of the comics at all, this is just something that ought to be considered noteworthy. Path of Vengeance follows not only the Ro cousins that we met in Path of Deceit by Justina Ireland &

The Odyssey of Star Wars by Jack Mitchell (5/5)

Jack Mitchell’s The Odyssey of Star Wars is brilliant on a level that I cannot explain. I read it on the recommendation of a friend of mine, and I could not be happier that I did. I rated it five stars, and that is an honest as heck rating that I don’t see changing. One of my favourite things about these ‘retellings’ of Star Wars in the style of the classics is that there is so many themes that come from the classics that we see in Star Wars that prove how strong and important these classics are when examining modern media. I’m going to be honest, if someone tells me that The Odyssey of Star Wars isn’t canon, I will not care. Anything in this book, I will take it as canon because it all makes sense to me in how it flows. The parts where it adds new information, it all makes sense, and it doesn’t really require too much detail. I love that it adds the new information that we’ve gotten since the release of the original trilogy. There are things that allude to the prequels, Rebels , an
