UPDATE

Hello, friends. 

I do have more reviews coming that were sort of backlogged due to me getting sick last week. I'm finishing the reviews off and getting them posted (probably 1-2 a day so that I can catch up faster). 

Upcoming reviews include: Chapters 2 and 3 of The Book of Boba Fett, The Fallen Star, Eternals #8, Life Day Treasury, Star Wars #20, The High Republic Adventures #12, and Eye of the Storm #1.

In addition to this blog, my friend Lil and I have decided to start a podcast called Books and Beacons for the Star Wars canon challenge where we will be reviewing the Star Wars canon novels and comics. You can find information for both of our social media accounts, as well as the podcast's socials here. We hope that you'll come along on this journey with us. 

With that, my friends and I are in the beginning stages of our business podcast/show for The Storyteller's Tavern, which you can find information about here, and my partner and I are hoping to be able to continue our general Star Wars chat podcast Twin Sabers, which you can find the first few episodes of on YouTube here. 

Lots going on going into 2022 and I am looking forward to all of it. Hopefully following graduation in the spring, I will be able to find a job in my field that offers more regular hours to what I have going on now at my job, which will open up more time for all of my side projects.

Thank you for supporting me by reading my reviews, it means a lot.

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
