One thing’s for sure: They won’t save the galaxy alone. It’s going to take leaning on each other and drawing on one another’s strength to restore peace. Since its intense beginnings, The High Republic has featured character bonds that shimmer when strengthened and crumble when shattered.

Prodigy. Master. Elder. Call her whatever you like, as long as it’s not Vern. In the era of the High Republic, Jedi answered the call to defend the galaxy from vile marauders known as the Nihil.

So far this year, we’ve covered standalones, series openers, duologies, and trilogies alike. But today, we’d like to focus on one duology: the Chaos & Flame series by Tessa Gratton and Justina Ireland and its conclusion with Blood & Fury. Tessa Gratton and Justina Ireland’s Blood & Fury picks up months after book one as Darling Seabreak learns to adapt to her newfound phoenix powers. While still, of course, finding a way to end the House Wars in Pyrlanum.
