Star Wars: Convergence (The High Republic) (Star Wars: The High Republic: Prequel Era)
The next adventure in the High Republic begins expanding the new era of Star Wars, with a story set generations before Light of the Jedi.
It is an age of exploration. Jedi travel the galaxy, expanding their understanding of the Force and all the worlds and beings connected by it. Meanwhile, the Republic, led by its two chancellors, works to unite worlds in an ever-growing community among near and distant stars.
On the close-orbiting planets of Eiram and E'ronoh, the growing pains of a galaxy with limited resources but unlimited ambition are felt keenly. The two worlds' hatred for each other has fueled half a decade of escalating conflict and now threatens to consume surrounding systems. The last hope for peace emerges when heirs from the planets' royal families plan to marry.
Before lasting peace can be established, an assassination attempt targeting the couple tilts Eiram and E'ronoh back into all-out war. To save both worlds, Jedi Knight Gella Nattai volunteers to uncover the culprit, while Chancellor Kyong appoints her own son, Axel Greylark, to represent the Republic's interests in the investigation.
But Axel's deep distrust of the Jedi sparks against Gella's faith in the Force. She's never met such a puffed-up, privileged party boy, and he's never met a more self-serious, relentless do-gooder. The harder they work to untangle the shadowy web of the investigation, the more complicated the conspiracy appears to be. With accusations flying and potential enemies in every shadow, the pair will have to work together to have any hope of bringing the truth to light and saving both worlds.

My enjoyment of this story was honestly hurt by the fact that the synopsis of it spoils a lot. Half way through the book I realized a lot of the stuff in the synopsis hadn't even happened yet. I mean, it literally spoils what happens towards the end of the book. The moments I didn't see coming were a lot more enjoyable.

Stayed up late to finish this and it was so worth it! Loved these new worlds and the Jedi and characters in this High Republic book. There are so many twists and turns. I am a shameless fan of Axel Greylark now! Can’t wait to read more!

This book gets a 3.5/5. It was a slow burn of a read. It was definitely setting something up for a bigger story. I liked the main characters Jedi Gella Nattai and Axel Greylark. The did not have a typical relationship in the book and it could be interesting in future books.

I'm a big fan of the High Republic. It's clear that the era has been carefully mapped out by the creative team. I'm reading everything, from the kids books and comics to the YA and adult novels. Convergence adds yet another intriguing layer to the mythology. It's a story both epic in scope and intimate in detail.

Eiram and E'ronoh are two planets locked in orbit with a moon between. Their war, dubbed the Forever War, has grown hot again, affecting nearby trade and the Republic. Jedi and Republic forces visit to see if there is some way to find peace. I really enjoyed this High Republic novel despite it never leaving the system. Adventure, action, a dash of romance with wonderfully complex characters, I hope more High Republic novels follow this example. Highly recommended for Star Wars fans.
