Publisher's Summary
Another exciting adventure from the number one New York Times best-selling series!
The darkest secrets are the hardest to bring to light....
Sylvestri Yarrow is on a streak of bad luck with no end in sight. She's been doing her best to keep the family cargo business going after her mom's death, but between mounting debt and increasing attacks by the Nihil on unsuspecting ships, Syl is in danger of losing all she has left of her mother. She heads to the galactic capital of Coruscant for help but gets sidetracked when she's drawn into a squabble between two of the Republic's most powerful families over a patch of space on the frontier. Tangled up in familial politics is the last place Syl wants to be, but the promise of a big payoff is enough to keep her interested....
Meanwhile, Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh has been summoned to Coruscant, but with no idea of why or by whom. She and her Padawan, Imri Cantaros, arrive at the capital along with Jedi Master Cohmac Vitus and his Padawan, Reath Silas - and are asked to assist with the property dispute on the frontier. But why? What is so important about an empty patch of space?
The answer will lead Vernestra to a new understanding of her abilities and take Syl back to the past...and to truths that will finally come out of the shadows.
Don't miss any of the adventure and excitement of Star Wars: The High Republic!

Pretty good story
I enjoyed this. Probably closer to a 3.5 star. I purchased this audiobook to get through the ebook, which may impact my opinion of this story

the book is better
While the story isn't amazing or bad it's a book you are required to read or listen to in order to have continuality given the ending and plot seeds it gives for future books.
Vernestra is written terribly as the "she has no flaws" character and Reath has regressed since the previous book.
the Narration is poor, all conversations sounding sarcastic or the tone feels off.
reading the book is a better experience if you can.

Chapters
The book was good, but about halfway through they started saying the wrong chapter numbers. Eg: I’ll be on chapter 40 but the narrator would say chapter 37 instead

MASTER YADDLE!!!! YAY!!!
4.5 Says
Honestly, the first half of the book was quite disjointed, and I wasn't really vibing with it, but all those plot points came together in a significant way. However, I feel that may have been to set up those various plot points. More than that, there was so much lore referenced. For example, in the first chapter alone, there is a very telling line. That even the most passive Jedi were beginning to be more willing to reach for their Light Sabre. In fact, this book actually delves into a change in the Jedi Order.
Finally, we get concealing in Star Wars. I wonder if this vital role is removed because Anakin would have benefited from this.
I don't want to get too into all the Easter eggs I loved but getting Master Yaddle in this story made me unbelievably happy! I won't mention any more, or I will spoil the book.
Regarding the audio quality, the very abrupt chapter changes and I missed the usual music and sound accompaniments of the other Star Wars audiobooks.

Listening issues.
Lacking the usual music, sound effects and character voices and the narrator seems in a rush. Previous High Republic audiobooks were so enjoyable, but this feels like it’s been cheated without all off the backing sounds. Great story, terribly narrated.

kind of hard to listen to
A lot of the jedi characters that have appeared in previous books seem to have regressed and felt weaker (as jedi and as individual characters) getting trounced and caught unawares by thugs etc.
Vernestra's character was hard to by into as a knight, I think she might have been more palatable if she hadn't had a padawan.
I found myself not liking her, not great given she's the main character.
The performance was a little distracting, conversations were hard to follow, pacing tone and emphasis was off most of the time.
I also felt put off by the change in pronunciation of things, particularly Marchion, Nihil etc
I feel these should be consistent across books regardless of narrator, especially within the same series.

Kinda disappointed
Have really enjoyed the series of Audiobooks, however this one misses the mark on production.
Previous books have all been well narrated in different voices with a nice touch of having some backing music/sound effects.
The narrator for this book changes the pronunciation of some vital character names through the series. There also seems little effort to go extra lengths for the character voices and really has me struggling to get through this audiobook. May be petty but would have preferred the same narrator throughout the whole series.

Great story, horrible performance
The voice performance was horrible. Most of the characters sound the same and pronunciation of key words was really off.
I would still buy it because of the story.

underwhelmed
after listening to all of the other high republic audiobooks the production of this book was a let down there where no sound effects to really get you sucked in to the story and the voice actor didn't have different voices. I still enjoyed it because it's star wars but I wish it was better.
