While the previous book wasn’t my favorite, it really feels like they got right back on track with Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures Phase III # 8. And, honestly, I’m not even sure I could tell you what it was that I didn’t love about the last book, but this one just feels like “home”.

You can’t deny that the biggest hook of The High Republic Adventures is the budding and flourishing relationship between Lula Talisola and Zeen Mrala, and it’s always felt, to me, that when they’re doing good, this book is doing well.

I’m also really digging the growth and market of Farzala Tarabel and Qort. I would be totally down for a miniseries of the two on an adventure of their own together at some point.

Honestly, I’m very intrigued by the B-plot featuring Krix Kamerat which is not something that I ever thought I would be saying. Krix appears to now be all-in on stopping the Nihil. Can he bring down the Stormwall and/or assassinate Marchion Ro?

I can’t wait for the wedding between Lula and Zeen. Their story has been one of the best parts of the entire High Republic Era, and I would love a happy ending.
