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.
