I have read two novels, a graphic novel, and a book meant for children. This is my fourth offering that I have read from this era. The artwork and the action scenes were the highlight of this collection. I did think this collection did a better job fleshing out other characters like her master and especially the antagonists. That says it all about how I feel about her. Before I started writing this review I had to look up her name even though I just finished reading it. An example of this is with the protagonist in this collection. My biggest complaint from the novels is that I am not connecting with the characters.

The appealing protagonist of this volume is Keeve Trennis, and one of the more enjoyable aspects was that she narrated the story. Truly taking place "a long, long time ago" - as in long before any of the nine movies we love and/or despise, although Yoda has the briefest of cameo appearances - Star Wars: The High Republic - There is No Fear is set in those golden days when numerous Jedi Knights still existed and worked as a force (haha!) of good in the galaxies. Blah blah blah." - the musings of newly minted Jedi Knight Keeve Trennis, in the opening of chapter 2 Now I'm a Jedi Knight, and everyone will be watching. The first books in the initiative take place around 232 BBY, and the second phase of books takes place around 382 BBY."I was a Padawan.
