My first ever Brandon Sanderson book and I could not be happier. It was such a unique and fun read. A fresh concept that was so nicely fleshed out. Our main character is thrust into a new dimension and he doesn’t even remember his own name… and he looks like he’s cosplaying? What could go wrong? Highly recommend!

Incredible books for those who like to learn new bits of information in a way that’s digestible! Would recommend to read it in separate seatings so you can really enjoy each bit of info.

Although I know this is a short story I feel like the pace was good until the end. The end felt too rushed for me, but it did make me wish there were more to read.

An absolute must read if you're getting into the High Republic portion of the books. Fast paced, packed with action coming in from every direction. A Jedi adventure to not be missed.
