Canon Novel Review: The High Republic – Convergence

– Minor Spoiler Review –

As part of The High Republic’s Phase II: Quest of the Jedi’s first wave of content, The High Republic – Convergence is the first adult novel of the new Phase. Marking Zoraida Córdova’s THR debut, Convergence follows Jedi Knight Gella Nattai as she, and seemingly the rest of the galaxy, get wrapped up in a high stakes peace summit to bring the Forever War of E’ronoh and Eiram to a close. As the prince and princess of the warring worlds draw closer, so too do all the forces conspiring to keep the planets apart, a small-scale struggle with greater galactic meaning, making Convergence an often intriguing, exciting, and character-focused next great entry in Phase II.

The High Republic’s Phase II – Quest of the Jedi begins! Written by Justina Ireland and Tessa Gratton, The High Republic – Path of Deceit is the opening novel for Phase II of the initiative, set 150 years prior to Phase I’s beginning! Whether you’ve read every single piece of Phase I content or are just dipping your toes in now, Path of Deceit is an excellent, exciting, and memorable way to kick off Phase II, as its focus on characters and their choices, and what those choices will mean for the galaxy at large, set the stage and tone for what’s to come not just in this Phase, but the Phases beyond.

The High Republic Show: Phase II Path of Deceit Cover, New Authors Chat, and More!

It’s been just over two months since the last The High Republic Show and a little over a month since Phase I wrapped up its story, so it’s been quiet in the era of The High Republic for fans (unless those rumors of a live-action TV show are true…), but even this newest batch of details and interviews is enough to breathe life back into the discussion ahead of Star Wars Celebration and likely a lot of news there. In the latest show, host Krystina Arielle sums up the finale to Phase I, talks with the new authors joining the project, interviews with some creatives about the finale, and some scant and surprising details about Phase II!

The High Republic Show: Phase II Novels, Comics, Art Book Announced, And More!

With the first Phase of The High Republic nearly at an end, the final comic issues dropping March, the latest The High Republic Show was focused more on how we got here, Krystina Arielle’s cool new digs and fan-made costume, and discussing much of what’s transpired since The Fallen Star‘s release in January, plus a suggestion on which piece to read to finish Phase I, Wave III. There were some reveals for Phase II: Quest of the Jedi, like who’s writing what, from Zoraida Córdova kicking off the new story with the adult novel and Claudia Gray behind a comic book, as well as a much requested and really exciting Art of The High Republic book, but it was focused mainly on the journey so far and teases of the future (5 or so years total in story) and I think it was well-deserved considering how fandom has accepted the initiative since its launch, though it also mentioned something fandom has been rallying against for sometime. Head on for the lowdown! Continue reading “The High Republic Show: Phase II Novels, Comics, Art Book Announced, And More!”
