A Test of Courage

A Jedi and her kyber are linked through the Force. It sings to me and my spirit returns that call. It's not a mere energy crystal.

I'm not normally one to read to middle grade books for anything but the High Republic series are just a nice little treat, kind of like watching a good Clone Wars arc.

A Test of Courage introduces one of my favourite Jedi of the era, Vernestra Rwoh, as she and a small group get stranded after a collision caused in the previous story Light of the Jedi. It's small scale and much more standalone as a story but it's just a pleasant short read.

Vern is a strong lead and has one of the coolest lightsabers i've seen and the way she helps guide Imri, Honesty, and Avon is good to see as such a young Jedi Knight.
