We know that every Inquisitor was once a Jedi, and we’ve seen Jedi from Ahsoka Tano to Luke Skywalker to Rey actively fighting the dark side. But what would it take to make a good-hearted Jedi fall? What would make someone actively choose to become an Inquisitor? I hope readers who have had a similar experience will connect with Iskat's journey, and that they'll realize they were never broken; we are all, as Yoda says, luminous beings. Of course, that doesn't mean we need to be violent, like Iskat ... but everyone deserves to find what makes them feel more alive and do more of it. The SDCC exclusive cover features two of the story’s main characters as Jedi and Inquisitors in breathtaking original art. Each of these editions is signed by the author and comes with a limited edition enamel pin. Vader and the Inquisitors returned to the Inquisitorius Headquarters and gave Koth's child to the nursemaids. The Grand Inquisitor approached Vader and departed to the tower's conference room, while Akaris and the others eventually went to a bar in the tower to celebrate the success of their mission. As part of the celebration, she and Yaluna sat down and drank dust juice, a local beverage of Koth's planet, which they both found unpleasant to drink. During their conversation, Akaris and Yaluna speculated what Vader would do when all of the Jedi were exterminated. While conversing on the subject, Vader interrupted and ignited his lightsaber. [5]

The latest announcement of new Star Wars books and new covers for upcoming titles predicts a busy 2023 for fans of Star Wars novels, comics, and literature overall! The excitement of battle, using a lightsaber to fight and eliminate the Republic’s enemies became Iskat’s favorite activity. After many years of feeling mediocre, Iskat finally learned that she was good at something. Well, more than good, Iskat was great at killing, and she enjoyed it. If you are a fan of easter eggs, Dawson fills this book with plenty, not only to the Clone Wars series, but to later eras in the canon, and even some Legends connections. There were references to Mike Chen's "Brotherhood" that were excellently and organically included. Dawson has proved that she really can write whatever era she is given (and whatever sub-genre).

Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade (First identified as Thirteenth Sister, simultaneous with audiobook) This last part of the book includes the events of the Darth Vader comics by Charles Soule. I used some of its panels to illustrate this last segment.

The narrator, Kristen Sieh, did a good job with her performance. I greatly appreciated the audio as it allowed me to know whether I was pronouncing certain names correctly (i.e.: Tualon) or not. The music, as always, really amped up the atmosphere when needed. It made the experience even better. The only complaint I have with the book is a minor one – I wanted more with Inquisitor Iskat. And I definitely wanted more with Iskat and Tualon in their new toxic but intoxicating relationship. Path of Vengeance is another High Republic novel, written by Cavan Scott, it is scheduled to be published on May 2023, as part of Phase II. Protagonist Journey to Villain: The book charts how Iskat goes from a struggling Padawan to a member of the murderous Inquisitorius. As an Inquisitor, Iskat finds the freedom she has always craved: to question, to want. And with each strike of her red blade, Iskat moves closer to claiming her new destiny in the Force—whatever the cost.Sadly, not everything that happened at the arena was beneficial for Iskat. Out of all the Jedi sent to rescue Padmé, Anakin, and Obi-Wan only twenty-nine returned to Coruscant, and Master Sember Vey wasn’t one of them. Being a Junior Novel means that it’s mainly targeted toward kids and teenagers. The cover reflects this by showing three youngsters watching a holoprojector. Their faces reveal excitement and desire for adventure. When my physical copy came in the mail, I didn't start off right away. I waited, hoping my library would get the digital copy in the next few days. Eventually, though, my patience ran out and I started my journey.

Iskat’s long, red fingers wrapped around the cold metal bench as she closed her eyes and silently recited the Jedi Code again. Fans of the prequels and Obi-Wan Kenobi will love Dawson’s deep dive into the mind of a Jedi who always felt she was destined for something … different.

Retailers:

Now a general on the front lines contributing to that chaos, she is often reminded: Trust in your training. Trust in the wisdom of the Council. Trust in the Force. Yet as the shadows of doubt take hold, Iskat begins to ask questions that no Jedi is supposed to ask. Questions about her own unknown past. Questions the Jedi Masters would consider dangerous. Begun the Clone Wars have! Seeing through the lies of the Jedi! Embracing passions! Spinny sabers! And the Inquisitorious! she sensed they had all been broken, somehow, crushed and pulverized and reforged to fit a very specific mold." Although I want each of my Star Wars books to be a great entry point for new readers, I also love adding Easter eggs for longtime fans.
